Abstractive Health Launches Clinical Time Machine, the First AI Game Built on Real Historical Patient Records
Article content NEW YORK — Abstractive Health has launched Clinical Time Machine, an AI-driven simulation that immerses physicians in diagnostic cases using real historical medical charts. Built on the same HIPAA-compliant platform that powers live summarization of electronic health records (EHRs) in hospital settings, the simulation lets clinicians explore rare, complex cases from hundreds of years ago without patient risk. Article content CEO Vince Hartman calls it 'a Microsoft Flight Simulator for medicine,' enabling diagnostic training on authentic data with no need for EHR integration. 'Three years after ChatGPT, fewer than 1% of physicians have ever seen an AI full medical record summary,' he says. 'We're changing that.' Article content Each case begins with an AI-generated summary distilled from original, centuries-old handwritten documents. Clinicians explore the structured chart, from history of present illness to labs and vitals, and receive simulated updates based on actual clinical observations. 'It's not a quiz. It's about engaging clinical reasoning in a sandbox where doctors can make decisions and learn from them,' Hartman explains. Article content The simulation is built on Abstractive Health's existing summarization and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agentic AI platform. Leveraging advanced OCR and a robust AI summarization pipeline, it can also process handwritten records and turn scribbled notes into readable clinical narratives. The summarization technology is currently being piloted at Weill Cornell Medicine in a research collaboration to assist with writing Emergency Medicine handoff notes. Abstractive Health is also preparing to roll out the experience to Canadian outpatient clinics through a partnership with Canada's WELL Health Technologies that followed an investment and distribution deal inked last year. Article content Abstractive Health's broader goal is to bring clinicians into meaningful, hands-on engagement with AI. 'We're not just saving time – we're helping doctors think better,' Hartman says. 'This is about curiosity, growth, and elevating clinical skill.' Article content Clinical Time Machine is available now through Abstractive's platform for free. Article content Abstractive Health retrieves medical records, generates trusted AI summaries, and answers complex clinical questions. Its platform is used by clinicians nationwide and is currently in pilots with Well Health and Weill Cornell Medicine. A top 3 company in the 2024 VA AI Tech Sprint, Abstractive is backed by the NSF and has been featured by Forbes 30 Under 30.

NFL all-time great Barry Sanders sheds light on heart attack
One of the greatest football players ever is revealing details about his health issues hoping to help others. Article content Barry Sanders, who has a case as the top running back to play the game and was a no-doubt Hall of Fame pick after starring for the Detroit Lions, is shedding some light on the 'health scare' he said he went through last June. Article content Article content Sanders 56, told CBS Sports he had a heart attack while attending a recruiting visit for his son. Article content 'I couldn't believe it, honestly,' Sanders told CBS. 'I thought it was like heartburn, but it just kind of persisted.' Article content Sanders went over the whole experience in 'The Making of a Heart Attack,' which will premier on Saturday, June 14 at 1 p.m. on A&E. Article content He said the day started with a burning sensation in his chest, but he still went on the visit. Only later would Sanders visit a hospital. Tests found that he'd suffered a heart attack. Article content 'Of all things, I don't know why, that just never entered my mind,' Sanders said. 'I'm learning through this process that there aren't necessarily any warning signs, unless you do what we're encouraging people to do, which is to go the doctor, get tested for LDLC levels, or bad cholesterol. That's the only way to find out if you have high cholesterol. It's not something you're going to be able to feel. You don't have to fit a certain physical profile.' Article content Sanders and four other people who have had heart attacks are featured in the show. He said it was eye opening how prevalent heart attacks are. Article content Article content Sanders said he's feeling good now and is taking medications and has made dietary changes and is walking more. Article content 'It's definitely made me healthier and happier,' Sanders said. 'Being the kind of athlete that I was, I would see people walking and I would wonder, like, 'What kind of workout is that?' But there's a thing called a heart healthy workout, where you're just getting your heart rate up a little bit over a certain period of time, and that's just really good for your heart. There was just a certain ignorance that I had about things like that. But all of it has been a learning process.' Article content
