Mount Sinai Launches Center For Ophthalmic Artificial Intelligence And Human Health

The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (New York), in collaboration with the Windreich Department of Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at Icahn Mount Sinai, established the Center for Ophthalmic Artificial Intelligence and Human Health in New York.

The project aims to advance clinical innovation in artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic care in ophthalmology and population-based medical care. It will also work to advance understanding of cardiovascular and neurological conditions that impact patient well-being.

Mount Sinai will incorporate AI into trainee and physician education, research, and the clinical setting for rapid diagnosis of eye diseases and conditions. Those conditions include macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, hypertensive retinopathy, systemic conditions, and retinal tumors.

The center will research and implement validated AI models across three initial areas: Mount Sinai’s tele-retina program, ophthalmology tele-consult program, and eye stroke service.

The tele-retina program allows primary care physicians to capture retinal images during annual patient exams with the help of portable, high-quality digital cameras. These images are then uploaded to a technology platform where New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (New York) retinal specialists can examine them and provide diagnoses.

The implementation of validated AI software for these retinal images in the coming years could provide onsite interpretations of these scans, appropriate immediate patient referrals, and risk calculations for heart disease and stroke.

Mount Sinai’s tele-ophthalmology consult pilot program is designed to provide timely diagnosis and triage of patients experiencing eye emergencies. The program currently relies on telemedicine platforms, but AI could expedite diagnosis and treatment further.

AI will also transform and expand Mount Sinai’s eye stroke service, housed at several emergency departments in the Mount Sinai Health System, to expedite the diagnosis and treatment of patients who present with an acute eye stroke.

Supporting The Connection Between Facility Design And Outcomes

“This is an exciting time for our industry. We might be facing some of our most demanding challenges, but we are also in a time of unprecedented growth in the construction of new building projects and of building renovations and remodels.” These were the opening words when I penned my first column 22 years ago for the newly launched Healthcare Design magazine. They are as relevant today as they were more than two decades ago. At that time, current spending on healthcare construction was $17 billion a year and was expected to increase to $27 billion annually in the next decade. This year, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, healthcare construction spending is estimated to reach more than $62 billion and continue to increase over the next five years. Increasing demand for healthcare services and an aging population will continue to drive new construction for the foreseeable future, especially for new outpatient clinics. At the same time, the added financ

Expansion of Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch Medical Center Underway

Sharp Rees-Stealy Otay Ranch Medical Center in San Diego has completed the first phase of a $86 million multiphase expansion. Opened in December 2023, the project included a new four-level parking garage with capacity for 610 vehicles. The next phase will add a two-story medical office building (MOB) with an urgent care center, advanced imaging technology, and expanded services. The project team includes HGW Architecture (architect and interior designer; San Diego) and DPR Construction (general contractor; San Diego).
