SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Omada Health, the virtual-first healthcare provider, today announced its pledge to the Healthcare AI Commitments, underscoring its goals of using artificial intelligence (AI) to empower human-led care teams to drive behavior change at scale. As part of those commitments, Omada intends to continue pursuing cutting-edge technologies that enable more personalized and equitable care for members.
Omada Health joins several other forward-thinking academic health systems and provider organizations in making this pledge, including partners Duke Health, Sanford Health, and Tufts Medicine, to support harmonization of standards for health AI and to educate end-users on recommended ways to evaluate these technologies to drive their adoption.
“We are committed to human-led, compassionate intelligence that is grounded in member privacy and safety and deep connections between our care teams and members,“ said Terry Miller, Vice President of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning of Omada Health. ”We look forward to working with other leading healthcare organizations to advance responsible healthcare innovation across the industry.”
Miller joined Omada in early 2024 to accelerate the company’s use and deployment of advanced AI capabilities. Omada, which has delivered care to more than one million cumulative members to date, has leveraged machine learning for years and more recently, generative AI in its human-led care model. With billions of actionable health data points to draw on today, Omada recognizes how advanced AI tools and building its own models can enhance its approach to care in key categories: clinical decision support tools for care teams, data trends and insights, and AI-assisted healthy lifestyle and related educational material. Utilizing AI and machine learning technology helps Omada to scale its tailored member/care team interactions while decreasing administrative burden among its growing team.
“We built a network of payers and providers that plans to constructively engage in responsible AI practices, with emphasis on their use to advance health equity, expand access to care, and make care more affordable,” said Aneesh Chopra, President and Co-Founder, CareJourney. “We are grateful for Omada, an innovative virtual provider at the intersection of healthcare and technology, to join our pledge.”
