In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Bart Daugherty, vice president of clinical technology and systems at Georgetown Cancer Center, Lifepoint Health, about his program's receipt of a 2025 ACCC Innovator Award. Lifepoint's innovation, Transforming Cancer Detection and Treatment with the AI-Driven Healthy Person Program, leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze the health records of all patients who have received care at Lifepoint Health's facilities and identify those who are at risk of developing catastrophic diseases. This initiative, dubbed the Healthy Person Program, has already impacted over 280,000 patients since the deployment of Lifepoint's AI tool and made significant strides in improving population health in its communities.
