"How do we manage pancreatic cyst surveillance at scale?" This question haunts surgical oncologists and GI specialists everywhere. The traditional answer: You don't. Most programs cap at a few hundred patients because manual tracking is unsustainable. Dr. Russell C. Langan, MD, FACS, FSSO found a different answer at RWJBarnabas Health: AI-powered surveillance that acts as a continuous "background listener." The result? → Automatic identification of incidental findings → over 4,100 patients in active surveillance up from 110) → 90 cancers caught (more than half in early stages) He's sharing the entire playbook—technical requirements, workflow design, ROI data—in a free webinar December 2, at 6PM ET. This isn't theory. It's a working model you can adapt for your institution. Perfect for: Anyone in the pancreas space looking to improve outcomes while capturing downstream value.

Pancreatic cancer’s biggest problem isn’t clinical expertise — it’s infrastructure. Academic Medical Centers excel at treating advanced pancreatic cancer. But most still lack the infrastructure to systematically manage the 40M Americans with a pancreatic cyst — a key indicator of elevated risk. The consequences are profound: ✅ Pancreatic cancer now has the worst case-to-death ratio in oncology (1.3). ✅ Incidence is rising 1% per year. ✅ Younger patients are increasingly affected. ✅ And most cysts are discovered incidentally, meaning outcomes depend on manual follow-up processes that often fail. Health systems have developed scalable surveillance programs for breast, lung, and colorectal cancers. But for high-risk pancreatic cysts, workflows remain ad hoc, fragmented, and non-scalable. AMCs are uniquely positioned to close this gap. They own the full continuum of care — imaging → specialty evaluation → surgery — and have the expertise to build systematic cyst surveillance programs. What’s needed now is the infrastructure to make that care scalable: 🔹 Accurate identification + clinical validation 🔹 Evidence-based next steps at the point of care 🔹 Proactive longitudinal follow-up over months and years This piece breaks down the clinical urgency, the operational model for systematic surveillance, and the strategic opportunity for AMCs to close a critical gap in early detection. 👉 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/g4AxrGUn #AIinhealthcare #healthcareinnovation #defydisease #cancerprevention #pancreas

"We were stuck at 110 patients. Our team knew thousands more needed surveillance, but manual systems couldn't scale." That's Dr. Russell C. Langan, MD, FACS, FSSO, Chief Surgical Officer at RWJBarnabas Health, describing the problem every pancreatic program faces. Today? 3,600+ patients in active surveillance. The difference: AI-powered identification and monitoring. The results: ✅ 55 cancers identified ✅ 50% caught in early stages ✅ 3,075 downstream exams captured ✅ Same team, 33x more patients December 2, 6 PM EST | Free webinar Dr. Langan is sharing his complete implementation playbook—from automatic patient identification to measurable ROI. Perfect for surgical oncologists, GI specialists, cancer center directors, and anyone building or scaling a pancreatic program.

🔍 “You never know when it’s going to be you — or someone you love — who benefits.” A routine scan for a sinus issue revealed a 5 cm mass on the thyroid that may have just saved a health-system executive’s life. Later, another scan found a stable lung nodule—showing how consistent, intelligent management of incidental findings can both save lives and reduce unnecessary care. Sometimes incidental findings aren’t incidental. They’re opportunities to deliver smarter, more proactive care.

🚀 Milestone Achieved: 500 Million Radiology Reports Analyzed Every imaging report has a story—and every story deserves an ending where the patient gets more tomorrows. Eon has now analyzed over half a billion radiology reports, representing the largest real-world experience in identifying and managing incidental findings. 🏥 2M+ patients identified for follow-up (since 2021) 📈 On average, 75%+ of patients return for in-network follow-up care 🫁 Some clients have achieved zero Stage IV lung cancer diagnoses Powered by advanced clinical AI and expert navigation services, we’re transforming missed opportunities into early interventions—and supporting health systems as they impact more lives. Because early detection isn’t just data. It’s a patient's story. 💙 Eon's story began with a single patient and now spans across 75+ health systems, and has impacted millions of lives.

🎉 🥂 Congratulations to Lifepoint Health® and Bartholomew Daugherty for receiving the Association of Cancer Care Centers Innovator of the Year Award for the Healthy Person Program! The Healthy Person Program is based on leading clinical practices and is designed to ensure timely notification of findings to providers and patients, improve patient follow up regarding findings, and ultimately lead to earlier detection of several diseases and cancers in the communities Lifepoint Health® serves. Lifepoint Health® and Eon have partnered since 2018, initially on the Healthy Lung Program, which has since expanded into the Healthy Person Program and supports several disease conditions, including lung, breast, thyroid, pancreas, and more. Eon's AI-powered identification and longitudinal tracking platform, with its navigation services, supports Lifepoint's mission to make the communities it serves healthier. We are proud to see them recognized for this innovative and mission-driven work.

🚨 🚨 🚨 We will let our leader, Dr. Akrum Al-Zubaidi, D.O. FCCP's share below, but to say we are proud and truly humbled to be here is an understatement. This milestone is a testament to the relentless optimism of every physician, nurse, patient navigator, healthcare administrator, hospital IT, and all the people who have worked for and with Eon over the years. Everyone who believes a sea change is possible. Together, let's continue to #defydisease #healthcareinnovation #AI #patientcare #announcement

Headed to CHEST 2025 in Chicago next week? Let’s connect! 👋 Eon's CMO Scott Skibo, MD, FCCP, will be there, spending time with physicians and lung program leaders to talk about what’s happening in your programs — what’s working, what’s challenging, and what’s next. We want to know your goals for 2026 and beyond, and how Eon can support your mission to keep making a difference for patients through earlier detection and better care coordination. If you’ll be at CHEST, drop a comment ⬇️, or email us at eon@eonhealth.com, and we can find a time to meet up. #CHEST2025 #defydisease #EarlyDetection #HealthcareInnovation #Eon #AI

Last Friday night was such a joy — we had the chance to host a group of incredible patient navigators and program directors from many of our client partners for a happy hour while they were in Denver for the Go2 Center of Excellence Summit. These are the people who live and breathe Eon’s mission every single day — tirelessly working to save lives and give people more tomorrows. They are the true hearts of Eon, and it was such a privilege to spend the evening connecting, laughing, and celebrating the impact we’re making together. Grateful for moments like these that remind us why we do what we do 💙 Dr. Akrum Al-Zubaidi, D.O.

Muneeb Ali, Eon's CTO had the chance to speak on a panel today at Colorado Startup Week. The panel, presented by Amazon Web Services (AWS), "Scaling Healthcare with AI" brought together leaders in the healthcare technology space to discuss how their organizations are creating AI-driven solutions to address key problems across both the patient and provider journey. With leaders from organizations addressing mental health therapies, prior authorizations for prescription medications, and identification and early detection of disease, it was affirming to hear each panelist's commitment to a patient-first approach.
