Mayo Clinic Platform introduces Solutions Studio, a groundbreaking program designed to expedite the development, validation, and integration of digital health solutions into healthcare workflows. This initiative aims to mitigate the formidable costs and complexities typically associated with the commercialization process for digital health companies, thereby facilitating the adoption of solutions within hospital settings.
Solutions Studio accelerates digital health innovation and adoption by providing access to a wealth of global, de-identified data and facilitating efficient, scalable integration into clinical workflows. "AI is revolutionising healthcare, and it's crucial to adhere to best practices in testing, deployment, and evaluation of AI solutions. With Solutions Studio, Mayo Clinic Platform has devised a rigorous qualification process to ensure that digital health solutions meet standards of fairness, appropriateness, validity, and efficacy," says Dr. John Halamka, President of Mayo Clinic Platform and Co-founder and Board Chair of Coalition for Health AI (CHAI).
"Developers typically invest years and substantial resources to bring a digital health solution to fruition. Solutions Studio will significantly expedite this process, leading to improved patient outcomes, operational efficiencies, and reduced healthcare costs," adds Steve Bethke, Vice President of Product Portfolio at Mayo Clinic Platform.
Key benefits for digital health companies partnering with Mayo Clinic Platform_Solutions Studio include access to curated, de-identified data from diverse global regions, a suite of tools featuring analytics and federated training capabilities, objective assessment of model performance through Mayo Clinic Platform_Validate, simplified integration into clinical workflows via Mayo Clinic Platform_Deploy, and a novel qualification process involving due diligence, clinical review, risk assessment, and quantitative evaluation by expert physicians and data scientists.
Additionally, companies will benefit from standardised contracting procedures, marketing opportunities, and access to member hospitals within the Mayo Clinic Care Network. Mayo Clinic experts will provide specialised insights, guidance, and implementation services, ensuring that AI solutions are used responsibly and effectively in clinical care. "As founding members of CHAI, we've established guiding principles that underpin Solutions Studio, empowering innovators to swiftly bring qualified solutions to market while enabling providers to access trustworthy, high-quality solutions," concludes Dr. Sonya Makhni, Medical Director of Solutions for Mayo Clinic Platform.
