## [Celebrating Memorial Day - How Healthcare Has Evolved Both On and Off the Battlefield](https://info.aitiabio.com/celebrating-memorial-day)

Memorial Day, the day that honors the men and women who died while serving in the military, traces its roots to the Civil War.The Civil War claimed more American lives than any other war, prompting the creation of the first national cemeteries. Shortly after, cities and towns across America began honoring the fallen by laying flowers and holding ceremonies at these cemeteries during the spring. As we honor those who gave their lives, we thought we would take a look back at the past 150 years to see how healthcare has evolved to better care for the military and those they protect.

Last summer, GNS Chief Commercial Officer and Co-Founder Iya Khalil wrote about the difficulty of watching her sister suffer through the [devastating impact of migraine headaches](https://blog.gnshealthcare.com/personalized-medicine-becomes-personal-ai-migraines). Researchers continue to seek therapies and treatments to help mitigate this widespread condition and recent discoveries hold out hope that progress is being made.
More than 39 million people in the U.S. and nearly a billion people worldwide suffer from migraines with about two percent of those being chronic cases. Even more impactful is that migraines are the third most prevalent and the sixth most debilitating...

The oft-told story is that it took Thomas Edison’s 10,000 attempts to perfect the invention of the light bulb. He is famously quoted as saying of his many prior unsuccessful efforts, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
There is an ongoing discussion as to whether the biopharma industry should adopt a similar attitude when it comes clinical trials. [A recent article in BioCentury](https://www.biocentury.com/biocentury/tools-techniques/2019-03-22/how-bayesian-methods-are-gaining-ground-frequentist-?kwh=iya%3C|%3Ekhalil) outlined the clinical trial tug-of-war between traditional frequentists and Bayesians who have been making their way into the arena, starting first in the medical devices field....

## [Can Personalized Medicine Be the Answer to Value-based Care?](https://info.aitiabio.com/uniting-healthcare-ecosystem-value-based-care)

There's been a lot of conversation around value-based care (VBC) models, and payers, providers and biopharma – each have their own take on what VBC means to them. But lately there has been more conversation around patient-centered care and what that looks like through the lens of a value-based approach.
Value-based care – paying for outcomes as opposed to a fee for service or procedure – has been growing in recent years. A recent report found that the percentage of healthcare payments tied to value-based care reached 34 percent in 2017, up 23 percent from 2015, and affecting approximately 226...

In 1896, the marathon returned to popularity as a competition in the Summer Olympic Games in Athens. The Olympic Games turned out to be inspiring to visiting Boston officials who returned home ready to challenge the locals and establish what would become one of the world’s top marathons.[\[1\]](https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-boston-marathon-run) Next Monday, April 15th, 30,000 runners will hit the road in what will be the 123rd Boston Marathon.
Across the Charles River and throughout the U.S. another race is being run, the race to bring artificial intelligence (AI) to the world of healthcare. So what does a long running (pun intended) marathon...

## [Biomarkers: The Guideposts for Drug Discovery and Development](https://info.aitiabio.com/biomarkers-guideposts-for-drug-discovery)

Biomarker-guided precision medicine is increasingly important in drug discovery and development. Pharma products that incorporate biomarkers to support optimized trial design and selection criteria are three times more likely to make it from Phase I to FDA approval than those that do not.[\[1\]](https://www.lifescienceleader.com/doc/bet-on-biomarkers-for-better-outcomes-0001) Clinical trials that leverage biomarkers for patient stratification to guide their inclusion and exclusion criteria made up about 34% of oncology studies in 2017.[\[2\]](https://www.pharmalive.com/annual-report-2018-state-of-the-bio-industry/) Clinical trials costs are also affected by biomarker-driven development. Equally impactful, one study notes that the use of a validated...

## [Hypothesis Free AI: Discovering the Insights We Didn't Know to Ask](https://info.aitiabio.com/hypothesis-free-testing-1)
By [GNS Healthcare](https://info.aitiabio.com/author/gns-healthcare) | [Drug Discovery](https://info.aitiabio.com/topic/drug-discovery), [AI](https://info.aitiabio.com/topic/ai), [hypothesis-free](https://info.aitiabio.com/topic/hypothesis-free)
Much research and analysis in healthcare is based on testing preconceived hypotheses – looking to answer a narrow set of questions in the form of a hypothesis. Traditional statistical analyses begin with an explicit hypothesis – a specific statement of how variables interact to explain an observation or phenomenon – which is then statistically tested to confirm whether or not the data supports that position.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used to carry out this type of healthcare testing from drug discovery to targeted interventions at the point of care. We have seen the...

Tomorrow, March 8th, is International Women’s Day. While a public holiday in just a few countries, it is a day to celebrate the success and power of women from gaining suffrage to working their way into the board room. As such, we wanted to recognize some of the women in healthcare (and take it from us we could have featured hundreds if we had the room) who are leaders in their fields and driving innovation within their respective organizations, and healthcare as a whole.
