Happy Thursday!
The first real healthcare cost savings from AI is coming thanks to Anthem’s ‘Virtual’ health insurance plan. And Standford researches have used X (formerly Twitter) to train AI on medical images.
Let’s Review 👇
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield is expanding its virtual-first plan, which uses AI to streamline health services for members.
The plan utilizes the Sydney app to connect members with benefits details and cost transparency information. Members can access the their plan through the Sydney Health platform, which includes a symptom checker driven by AI.
The plan offers various cost-sharing options, including no co-insurance for virtual care. In addition to virtual visits, members can also access Anthem's network of doctors and specialists for in-person services.
The plan will collect data from various providers to improve experience and facilitate information sharing between virtual and in-person providers.
Anthem aims to provide convenient healthcare options with virtual care to make healthcare more accessible to everyone. (Read More)

Twitter, now called X, has various sub-communities, including medical Twitter…
Researchers at Stanford University have used medical Twitter to gather over 243,000 diagnostic images and annotations from highly trained clinicians. They recently released their published findings for pathology.
Pathology has lagged behind other areas of AI due to the lack of anonymized, image datasets, also complicated by the fact that there are 8,000 known diseases to classify — and an untold number of potentially valuable images kept locked away in private hospital databases.
Through Twitter they have built an AI model that can analyze and diagnose new images. Medical Twitter is a valuable resource for gathering diagnostic images and descriptions by creating one of the largest public pathology datasets.
The researchers believe that exploring diverse sources of data can greatly improve medical AI. (Read More)
