A spokesperson for Cleveland Clinic confirmed to Becker’s that this was not accurate.
“We believe that the thoughtful and safe use of AI has the potential to enhance medical care for patients,” Andrea Pacetti, director of public and media relations at Cleveland Clinic, wrote in an email statement to Becker’s. “We are utilizing the technology in many areas of our health system, and while we appreciate being mentioned as an innovator, we have not developed an AI nurse as part of our efforts.”
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
