Methodology: How We Selected the Top 10 Use Cases and Prompts
(Up)Methodology prioritized South Carolina impact, real-world evidence, and low-friction adoption: inclusion required either a local pilot or clear pathway for Charleston systems to implement the prompt or use case, measurable outcomes, and workforce-readiness so teams can deploy without adding clinician burden.
Sources weighted heavily included validated clinical results (MUSC Hollings' NLP model that read 82,000 radiation‑oncology notes and achieved >90% accuracy), local education and deployment capacity (MUSC's AI‑integrated Healthcare Studies program launching fall 2025 with more than 95% South Carolina residents and expanded AI practica), and institutional support for prototyping and scale (MUSC's Digital Solution Development Awards, which welcome generative AI concepts and offer $50K–$100K awards and development support).
Human‑centered design and accelerator output (MUSC HCD teams and startups that turned AI concepts into HIPAA‑aware tools) further prioritized prompts that are lightweight, explainable, and measurable in clinical workflows, so Charleston leaders can choose high-impact, low‑risk implementations first.
Selection Criterion | Charleston example / source |
---|---|
Validated clinical performance | MUSC Hollings NLP - 82,000 notes; >90% accuracy |
Workforce & curriculum readiness | MUSC AI‑integrated HCS program (launch Fall 2025; >95% SC residents) |
Piloting & funding pathway | MUSC Digital Solution Development Awards ($50K–$100K; generative AI encouraged) |
“This approach fills a crucial gap. Our AI tool pulled the diagnoses from doctors' notes quickly, accurately and without extra work for care teams.” - Mario Fugal, Ph.D.
Synthetic Data Generation - NVIDIA Clara Federated Learning
(Up)NVIDIA Clara Federated Learning can help Charleston health systems and nearby regional hospitals build robust medical‑imaging AI without moving protected health data offsite: the Clara FL approach runs local training on NVIDIA EGX edge servers and aggregates only encrypted model updates, enabling collaborative model building while preserving patient privacy; a multi‑hospital EXAM deployment using Clara FL produced a 16% average performance boost and roughly a 38% increase in generalizability - improvements that were largest for sites with smaller datasets, so smaller South Carolina hospitals can gain clinical‑grade models they couldn't train alone.
For technical and deployment details see the NVIDIA Clara Federated Learning overview, the EXAM federated multi‑hospital study, and peer‑reviewed evidence that federated training improves site performance, offering Charleston a practical path to shared AI gains without sharing PHI. For implementation details see the NVIDIA Clara Federated Learning overview and deployment guidance, the EXAM federated multi‑hospital study and results from NVIDIA, and the peer‑reviewed article demonstrating that federated learning improves site performance in medical imaging.
“It's like sharing the answer key to an exam without revealing any of the study material used to come up with the answers.”
Drug Discovery - Insilico Medicine
(Up)Insilico Medicine's AI-driven Chemistry42 workflow - detailed in their July 2025 report and peer‑reviewed Journal of Medicinal Chemistry paper - used structural analysis, a pharmacophore model, generative chemistry and ADMET/free‑energy filtering to winnow ~10,000 candidates down to a lead, ISM7594, a covalent FGFR2/3 inhibitor with nanomolar potency and >100‑fold selectivity over FGFR1/4; that degree of selectivity is critical because pan‑FGFR drugs often cause dose‑limiting toxicities (for example, hyperphosphatemia and diarrhea) and lose efficacy to resistance mutations.
For Charleston translational teams and regional biotech developers exploring targeted therapies, Insilico's published pipeline shows a reproducible AI‑assisted route from scaffold generation to a preclinical candidate that maintained activity against clinically relevant FGFR2/3 mutants and reduced off‑target effects - concrete gains that can shorten lead selection timelines.
Read the company summary on Insilico's site and the detailed AI‑design report for methods and results.
Item | Details |
---|---|
Lead compound | ISM7594 (covalent FGFR2/3 inhibitor) |
Key strengths | Nanomolar activity; >100× selectivity vs FGFR1/4; active against resistance mutants |

“emphasized AI‑enabled drug design speed and precision plus importance of experimental validation” - Xiao Ding, PhD, Insilico Medicine
Medical Imaging Enhancement - GE Healthcare AIR Recon DL
(Up)GE Healthcare's AIR Recon DL applies deep‑learning reconstruction to remove noise and ringing from raw MRI data, delivering up to 60% sharper signal‑to‑noise ratio and scan times reduced by as much as 50% - improvements that let Charleston hospitals and outpatient imaging centers boost diagnostic confidence and throughput without buying new scanners; clinical coverage across roughly 90% of MR sequences and immediate console reconstruction make protocol changes low‑friction for technologists.
For South Carolina practices balancing growing demand with aging hardware, AIR Recon DL's promise - to extend scanner life, shorten routine exams, and produce TrueFidelity™ images - is supported by case studies and technical white papers available on GE's AIR Recon DL product page and the AIR Recon DL resources hub, where ROI studies, DWI-focused papers, and webinar summaries describe measurable gains in exam time and image quality.
The platform's global footprint (an estimated >50 million patients scanned since launch) and peer testimonials provide concrete evidence that upgrading reconstruction software can be a practical, near‑term step to improve patient experience and diagnostic yield in Charleston imaging programs.
Metric | Value / Note |
---|---|
SNR improvement | Up to 60% sharper images |
Scan time reduction | Up to 50% faster exams |
Clinical coverage | ~90% of MR sequences |
Patients scanned (estimate) | >50 million since 2020 |
“It's not just about doing a five minute knee exam, it's doing a high quality five minute knee exam.” - Dr. Hollis Potter, Hospital for Special Surgery
Clinical Documentation Automation - Nuance DAX Copilot with Epic Systems
(Up)Nuance's DAX Copilot (Dragon Ambient eXperience) embeds ambient clinical voice capture into Epic workflows - on Haiku, Hyperspace and mobile - turning multiparty conversations into structured, specialty‑specific notes and orders so clinicians spend less time in the EHR and more with patients; field reports and vendor materials cite roughly a 50% reduction in documentation time (about 6–7 minutes saved per encounter) and growing ability to populate Epic “smart data elements,” while cohort research has measured meaningful changes in provider time‑in‑EHR and documentation workflows.
For Charleston health systems that use Epic, piloting DAX Copilot offers a practical path to standardize note quality, cut after‑hours charting, and improve throughput - provided implementations pair integration guidance with local validation, clinician sign‑off workflows, and privacy controls.
Read the Healthcare IT Today Epic integration overview, the Microsoft Dragon Ambient eXperience Copilot feature and outcomes, and the published cohort study on ambient listening for clinical documentation (PMC).
Metric | Value / Source |
---|---|
Documentation time reduction | ~50% (~6–7 minutes per encounter) - Healthcare IT Today |
EHR integration | Embedded in Epic Haiku & Hyperspace; populates smart data elements - Healthcare IT Today |
Clinical impact evidence | Cohort study measuring provider engagement and productivity - PMC |
“This continues VUMC's commitment to identifying and integrating leading health care technologies for quality, safety, and an enhanced patient/provider experience.” - Dr. Dara Mize
Personalized Care Plans & Predictive Medicine - Tempus
(Up)Tempus brings genomic profiling, AI-enabled reporting, and EHR connectivity together so Charleston clinics can move from one-size-fits-all care to data-driven, personalized plans: their Tempus genomic platform for oncology pairs DNA sequencing and whole‑transcriptome RNA analysis with minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring and algorithmic tests, while Tempus' Tempus EHR integration and Tempus Hub deliver results directly into clinician workflows; the result is more actionable treatment options and trial matches - Tempus reports that 96% of patients were potentially matched to a clinical trial when clinical data were combined with its NGS - and the company's mobile phlebotomy and financial‑assistance options lower barriers for patients who can't easily reach specialty centers.
For Charleston health leaders, that combination translates into earlier targeted therapy selection, richer trial enrollment pools, and a practical route to precision oncology driven by an 8M+ de‑identified research library.
Capability | Clinical value |
---|---|
DNA + RNA sequencing | Detects actionable fusions and variants for targeted therapy |
MRD & monitoring assays | Early recurrence detection and therapy response monitoring |
EHR integration & Tempus Hub | Point‑of‑care results and streamlined ordering in clinical workflows |
Large de‑identified dataset (8M+ records) | Improves AI recommendations and clinical trial matching |
“The integration of Epic and Tempus is a major advance in caring for patients with cancer. Until now in most institutions across the country, cancer genomic testing is done outside of their EHR platform. Integrating Tempus with Epic brings cancer genomic testing within the normal oncology clinical workflow. This ensures genomic testing is done with the appropriate patient, testing is not missed, and errors are avoided.” - Dr. Janakiraman Subramanian
Medical Conversational Assistants - Ada Health and Babylon Health
(Up)Medical conversational assistants - exemplified by Ada Health - offer Charleston health systems a low‑friction triage and intake layer that can steer patients to the right level of care, reduce ED crowding, and save clinician time: Ada's peer‑reviewed studies report near‑complete condition coverage (~99%), high urgency‑advice safety (94.7%) in an ED study, and real‑world signals that 43.4% of low‑acuity walk‑in patients could safely access lower‑intensity care instead of the ED - an operational lever that could meaningfully reduce after‑hours bottlenecks for Charleston hospitals.
When combined with ER physician assessment Ada increased diagnostic accuracy to 87.3% versus 80.9% for physicians alone, and almost half of assessments in one large system were completed outside primary‑care hours, showing value for rural and shift‑work populations.
For implementation guidance and the full evidence base, see Ada Health research library (Ada Health research library), Ada assessment accuracy overview (Ada assessment accuracy overview), and the JMIR comparative analysis of symptom checkers and AI tools (JMIR mHealth comparative analysis of symptom checkers and AI tools).
Metric | Value / Source |
---|---|
Condition coverage | ~99% - Ada studies |
Urgency‑advice safety (ED) | 94.7% - JMIR / Ada ED study |
Potential diversion to lower‑urgency care | 43.4% of low‑acuity patients - Ada ED study |
Combined ER diagnostic accuracy | 87.3% (Ada + ER physician) vs 80.9% (physician alone) - Ada eRadaR trial |
Assessments outside primary‑care hours | 46.4% of 26,646 assessments - Ada real‑world study |
Early Diagnosis with Predictive Analytics - Mayo Clinic & Google Cloud Cardiovascular Models
(Up)Charleston health systems can gain earlier, actionable cardiac warning signs by combining Mayo Clinic's ECG‑AI - which uses routine 12‑lead and single‑lead signals (including smartwatches) to flag conditions from low ejection fraction to amyloidosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - with cloud‑based machine learning that extends monitoring after hospital discharge to catch deterioration at home; Mayo Clinic's review of ECG‑AI notes an FDA‑cleared 12‑lead algorithm for low ejection fraction and single‑lead pathways for handheld devices, while a clinical trial of a cloud‑based ML platform shows how remote models can predict post‑discharge outcomes for cardiovascular patients, creating a low‑cost early‑warning layer that can reach rural and underserved South Carolina neighborhoods and reduce late presentations like heart failure or sudden events (so what: a 3% population prevalence of low ejection fraction becomes a detectable, treatable problem earlier).
Learn more from the Mayo Clinic ECG‑AI spotlight, the cloud‑based ML trial for post‑discharge monitoring, and a scoping review of AI for cardiovascular risk assessment.
AI target | Clinical implication |
---|---|
Low ejection fraction | ~3% prevalence; FDA‑cleared 12‑lead ECG‑AI flags treatable weak pump earlier |
Peripartum cardiomyopathy | AI‑enabled single‑lead devices may double case detection in obstetric settings |
Cardiac amyloidosis & HCM | AI can suggest disease before clinical suspicion, enabling earlier specialist referral |
“AI applied to ECG can suggest cardiac amyloidosis often before clinical suspicion; inexpensive and widely available; single‑lead ECG can give predictive information.” - Martha Grogan, M.D.
AI-Powered Medical Training & Digital Twins - FundamentalVR and Twin Health
(Up)Charleston surgical programs and simulation centers can scale high‑fidelity rehearsal without high capital spend by adopting VR platforms that pair immersive visuals with force‑feedback haptics: FundamentalVR's validation work shows superior performance on a bone‑drilling task and the company's platform focuses on orthopaedic, spine and joint procedures, while industry coverage highlights compatibility with off‑the‑shelf VR hardware and a business model that aims to deliver surgical “flight simulators” at roughly a tenth the cost of bespoke rigs - changes that make daily practice realistic for busy residency programs and community hospitals.
The clinical payoff is concrete: haptic‑enabled simulation is linked to about a 30% faster rate of skills acquisition and as much as a 95% boost in procedural accuracy, metrics that translate into fewer early learning‑curve errors in the OR and quicker readiness for independent cases.
For implementation evidence and broader context, see the FundamentalVR haptic validation study, the MedicalDevice‑Network overview of VR + haptics, and a 2025 systematic review of VR surgical simulation trends that summarizes the growing peer‑reviewed base for these tools.
Metric | Value / Source |
---|---|
Skills acquisition speed | ~30% increase - MedicalDevice‑Network |
Procedural accuracy | Up to 95% increase - MedicalDevice‑Network |
Validation | Superior performance on bone drilling task - FundamentalVR validation study |
Clinical focus | Orthopaedics, spine, joint surgery - FundamentalVR materials |
Cost model | ~1/10 cost of bespoke simulators (company claim) - MedicalDevice‑Network |
“With haptics as part of the training experience you see about a 30% increase in the speed of skills acquisition and up to a 95% increase in accuracy.”
On-Demand Mental Health Support - Wysa and Woebot Health
(Up)On‑demand mental health chatbots like Wysa and Woebot bring evidence‑based CBT and mindfulness into Charleston pockets of need by offering anonymous, free‑text conversational support 24/7 and a pathway for scalable, low‑cost care outside clinic hours; a systematic review of AI‑powered CBT chatbots (Woebot, Wysa, Youper) finds these tools are accessible, scalable, and effective for mental‑health management (Systematic review of AI-powered CBT chatbots (Woebot, Wysa, Youper)), while Wysa's research program includes an 8‑week, AI‑only “Wysa for Chronic Pain” protocol that planned recruitment of 500 US participants and measures PHQ‑9, GAD‑7 and pain interference - concrete study design that Charleston health leaders can mirror when piloting digital pathways to extend behavioral care beyond traditional clinics (Wysa for Chronic Pain 8-week AI-only trial protocol).
For local relevance, integrate these bots with targeted outreach and scheduling pilots already used in Charleston to close gaps in access and offer immediate, evidence‑aligned support to patients between visits (Charleston targeted outreach and scheduling pilot case study); the so‑what: a tested 8‑week digital program plus 24/7 availability creates a practical, scalable option to reach people who would otherwise wait weeks for an appointment.
Item | Detail |
---|---|
Program model | Wysa - AI conversational agent, free‑text, 24×7 |
Study design | 8‑week AI‑only pilot; planned n=500 (US recruitment) |
Key outcomes measured | PHQ‑9, GAD‑7, PROMIS‑Pain Interference |
Streamlining Regulatory & Administrative Tasks - FDA Elsa and Doximity GPT
(Up)Regulatory‑and administrative workflows in Charleston health systems can be streamlined by the same generative‑AI approaches already drafting patient messaging and automating operations: regulatory‑focused assistants and clinical‑communication copilots (tools with names like FDA Elsa and Doximity GPT appear in this class of solutions) can sit alongside proven operational AI to reduce paperwork, standardize outreach, and free staff for higher‑value care - building on local examples where Charleston preventive care targeted outreach case study closes screening gaps in underserved neighborhoods, generative AI for patient education and clinical messaging in Charleston scale communication work, and operational AI for hospital scheduling and billing in Charleston is already reducing administrative burden in local hospitals - so what: shifting routine compliance and admin tasks to AI can measurably free clinicians to focus on complex cases and targeted community outreach across South Carolina.
Conclusion: Balancing Opportunity and Risk for Charleston Healthcare
(Up)Charleston's healthcare future hinges on treating AI as both a tool for measurable gains and a domain that demands tight governance: local advances - anchored by MUSC's long‑range OneMUSC strategy and its fall 2025 AI‑integrated Healthcare Studies program - create a pipeline of AI‑literate clinicians (the HCS program reports >95% South Carolina residents) who can translate models into safer workflows, while statewide policy and market shifts documented by legal analysts signal real risks from funding changes, scope‑of‑practice debates, and new AI rules that could constrain deployment if ignored; practical next steps for health leaders are clear - pilot with clinician oversight, codify data‑privacy and validation standards, and invest in workforce training so improvements in access, documentation, and early diagnosis scale without increasing liability or disparities.
See MUSC's strategic vision for context and the regional policy landscape laid out in the Carolinas health issues overview, and pair institutional programs with targeted training such as the 15‑week AI Essentials for Work bootcamp registration to make local talent deployment immediate and measurable.
