Kaiser Permanente is implementing a shift from episodic data collection to real-time, continuous data collection using modern technologies such as large language models (LLMs), generative AI, wearables, internet of things (IoT), and edge computing1. This transition allows for more proactive and predictive healthcare, moving from physician-convenient care to patient-centered care.

The current traditional healthcare model involves patients visiting doctors' offices, clinics, or hospitals for examinations, lab tests, and necessary procedures. This model revolves around healthcare providers and is often referred to as physician-convenient care.

Kaiser Permanente is adapting to new healthcare demands by leveraging next-gen wearables, data collection, and AI tools to meet patients where they are. They are moving from physician-convenient care to patient-centered care, shifting healthcare into the home with continuous data collection. This enhances both the patient and clinician experience, and allows for more proactive and predictive care.
