My biggest takeaways from Virtual Medicine in LA this week:
Healthcare isn’t being disrupted. It’s being reimagined.
– Mayo Clinic presented a breakthrough study using Healium showing significant reductions in anxiety—and 100% IV placement success—before endoscopies
– “Blended intelligence” is here: humans + AI working together, not replacing each other
– Smart glasses (Project Aura) are transforming how visits are captured into the EHR
– New FDA guidance on clinical decision support + evolving HIPAA rules signal where regulation is heading
– Child life specialists using VR may now unlock reimbursement pathways
– ERs are using AI to help prevent suicide in real time
– The VA is leaning into AI in meaningful ways
– And yes… “poopables” are officially a thing
One thing is clear:
We’re moving toward a world where care is more immersive, measurable, and human-centered—powered by technology, not replaced by it. @CedarsSinai @virtualmedconf #vmed26
