The AMA and Sling Health have launched the Clinical Problem Database as part of the Physician Innovation Network (PIN), AMA\u2019s online community that connects and matches doctors with startups.

The database will be used to gather input from physicians on suggested improvements to clinical efficiency and patient care that will help to shape new medical technology product development.

According to the AMA, doctors are often treated as an \u201cafterthought\u201d when developers design their digital health products. What\u2019s needed instead, contends the physician group, is the ability to co-develop technology solutions that actually meet the needs of clinicians and advance healthcare delivery.

\u201cPhysicians and entrepreneurs are passionate about transforming healthcare, and by engaging collaboratively, they can advance innovation that makes the health system work better for everyone,\u201d says Michael Tutty, group vice president of professional satisfaction and practice sustainability at AMA.

\u201cThrough our collaboration with Sling Health, the AMA is helping physicians and medical students take on a greater role in driving technology forward that responds to real clinical needs,\u201d adds Tutty. \u201cGaining insights from physicians will help make medical technology an asset, not a burden.\u201d
