No more can be said other than that these are troubling and uncertain times. While this is a daily review, at SSH, we are committed to moving forward while continuing to serve and support the industry we love. One of the ways we do this is through the SSH Corporate Roundtable.
SSH continually searches for and reviews ways to provide more benefit to our members and of course, industry. As part of this partnership, we rely on industry to advise on emerging trends and showcase the newest products to enhance simulation. And, we are excited to announce that today at 2:00 pm EST, Team PCS will host the first session in the Virtual Learning Lab series: Virtual Patients with Artificial Intelligence: Theory and Practice. There are currently 14 Labs scheduled between now and December, with more to come! We look forward to continuing to do our part to help strengthen the relationship between learners and industry in Sim!
You can view information about and register for today’s Lab HERE.
Why would a company elect to join the Corporate Roundtable? From early membership of 10 companies, the CR has grown into a vibrant committee of more than 35 members, all committed to healthcare simulation and viewed as integral partners with the SSH. A valuable partnership, these companies provide additional perspective and insight in to the rapidly changing science of healthcare simulation. The CR has a seat and a voice at SSH’s Board Meeting and industry members also serve on the Media & Communications Committee. We consistently look to industry to provide a pulse on what is happening in the world of medical simulation.
The $1500 annual membership fees have multiple benefits which exceed the fee and then some. Membership information, benefits and application can be found at: https://www.ssih.org/Membership-Engagement/Corporate-Roundtable
Once you are a member, plan to select one or more of the following and become actively involved:
- Join the Corporate Roundtable
- Host a Virtual Learning Lab as well as a face-to-face Learning Lab at IMSH
- Exclusive right to submit articles to Simulation Spotlight
- Serve on the Media and Communications Committee
- Exhibit at IMSH and SimOps
- Attend courses and sessions
- Submit an abstract for programming consideration
- Host non-accredited workshops at SimOps;
- Sponsor and support one of the many opportunities available at:
- IMSH Annual Meetings

3 ways artificial intelligence will change healthcare
Forbes
It’s no secret that healthcare costs have risen faster than inflation for decades. Some experts estimate that healthcare will account for over 20% of the US GDP by 2025. Meanwhile, doctors are working harder than ever before to treat patients as the U.S. physician shortage continues to grow.

How Northwell is planning for a COVID-19 resurgence and utilizing IT in the next 18 months for recovery
Becker's Hospital Review
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, health systems across the U.S. canceled elective procedures and transitioned many team members to remote work.
New York experienced the peak of COVID-19 cases in April and now New Hyde Park, New York based Northwell Health is focused on getting back to business as usual. One of the biggest challenges is convincing patients that it's safe to return to the hospitals and physician practices.

Incoming med students: How will training start amid a pandemic?
AMA
Medicine is a profession that requires some comfort with ambiguity. For incoming medical students beginning training during a pandemic, picking up that skill will be among their first lessons. In typical times, new medical students come to campus in mid-August for orientation and a White Coat ceremony. However, during these atypical times, while that is happening in some locations, others are starting training online with the hopes of transitioning to a more traditional curricular environment in the coming months.

How the internet of things will revolutionize medical research
Med Tech Intelligence
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way we live and work. From tweeting refrigerators to driverless cars, a vast array of physical devices are now connected to the Web.
Nowhere is the impact felt as acutely as in the healthcare sector. This year, IoT deployments will grow faster in the health arena than in any other industry. In fact, according to McKinsey, the so-called “Internet of Medical Things” (IoMT) will have a global economic impact of $1.6 trillion by 2025.

Innovations in health technology: Telehealth
AAMC
Telehealth—the use of technology to deliver care at a distance—offers unique opportunities and poses potential risks for academic medicine.
Telehealth use has risen dramatically as health systems look for ways to provide care while protecting providers and patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we reassess what health care looks like in a world living with COVID-19, it is crucial that we understand how telehealth impacts medical education and training, the delivery system and its workforce, and patients’ access to care.

Overcoming scale-up challenges in gene therapy manufacturing
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
As the biopharmaceutical industry sharpens its focus on gene therapy, opportunities for advancements and challenges in manufacturing processes remain. While the industry has made progress to effectively treat and control diseases based on regulatory approvals for novel therapies, the industry must continue to find efficiencies and optimize manufacturing processes to deploy gene therapies economically and at scale.

Remote monitoring for medical devices allows freedom and comfort for patients
Medical Device
Medical devices do more than keep people alive; they allow many patients to live normally, with minimal impact from their condition. Frequent check-ups or long stays in hospitals or clinics are not only costly for the healthcare industry, but it disrupts peoples’ lives. Particularly in times of a global pandemic, in-person contact with patients is not always feasible, especially with patients that may be immune-compromised.

The virtual brain
AI Daily
The Virtual Brain (TVB) is a neuro-informatic platform that simulates the brain network.
The TVB was built by manipulating network parameters using AI and computational systems such as MATLAB, in order to simulate a brain’s behavior when it is observed in clinical scanners such as functional MRI, EEG and MEG.
