PICO Portal demonstration
PICO Portal demonstration
May 6, 2026 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
On Wednesday, May 6, we’re hosting a live demonstration of PICO Portal, focused on how research teams are using the platform to manage evidence synthesis workflows in practice.
Featured Webinar From Search to PRISMA: A Live PICO Portal Walkthrough About this Webinar
Evidence synthesis workflows are often fragmented. Studies are sourced, imported, screened, and analyzed across multiple tools, making it difficult to maintain consistency, track decisions, and move efficiently from evidence gathering to structured outputs.
In this session, we’ll walk through how PICO Portal supports end-to-end workflows in a single environment, from study import and screening to data extraction and PRISMA-ready reporting, while preserving transparency, reviewer control, and methodological rigor.
What You'll See
How teams use PICO Portal in practice, including:
• Study import across multiple sources using the new upload feature
• Structured screening workflows with built-in tracking
• Data extraction with full-text context and structured fields
• PICO highlight functionality to support faster identification of key study elements
• The PRISMA generator for transparent, audit-ready reporting
• What’s coming up next, including expanded AI integration and the ability to ask questions within the workflow
We’ll walk through a real example and a complete workflow.
Date: Wednesday, May 6th Time: 11:00am EDT (New York) /3pm GMT (UK)
Can't make it live? Register to receive a copy of the recording.
About PICO Portal
PICO Portal was founded to address the growing needs for efficient and high-quality research. A global leader in evidence synthesis solutions, we offer AI-powered literature review technology and tailored managed services for evidence-based decision-making.

Webinar: Policy, Practice, and Philosophy of Living Systematic Reviews in the Era of AI
Webinar: Policy, Practice, and Philosophy of Living Systematic Reviews in the Era of AI
May 13, 2026 @ 7:00 am - 8:00 am
This upcoming webinar tackles one of the most important questions facing researchers, clinicians, and health policy professionals today. Living Systematic Reviews (LSRs) have been repeatedly proposed as methods to keep up with evolving evidence, but challenges with planning and performance are common. Here's why this matters right now: → Evidence goes out of date faster than traditional reviews can keep pace; LSRs can solve this, → Maintaining a living review is labor-intensive: knowing update triggers/cadence remains one of the field's most difficult practical questions, → AI workflows can reduce the burden, but the responsibility for keeping evidence reliable and updated ultimately sits with the researchers.
This webinar brings together the policy frameworks shaping LSR governance, the practical realities facing research teams deploying these tools, and the deeper methodological questions that don't yet have consensus answers.
Expert presenters: - Melanie Golob, Researcher in living evidence synthesis; DPhil Candidate, University of Oxford, - Evelyn Rizzo, CPO, MSc, HEOR expert and founder of Mobility HEOR; Living Review practitioner, - I will weigh in on the challenges and current state of published LSRs, - David Thompson, Key Opinion Leader in HEOR and founder of Rubidoux Research LLC will moderate!
Join the conversation defining the next chapter of evidence-based medicine.

Modern Healthcare webinar: A fundamental redesign of how care is delivered
May 13, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Primary care leaders are navigating a difficult reality: demand is rising, provider capacity is constrained and expectations around access and experience continue to grow.
Addressing these challenges requires more than incremental change. It calls for a fundamental redesign of how care is delivered.
In a Modern Healthcare webinar on Wednesday, May 13 at 12:00 pm CT, Dr. Oliver “Rocky” Mollère of Ochsner Health will share how his organization is building a continuous, technology-enabled model of primary care.
By integrating AI tools, redesigning workflows and enabling team-based care, Ochsner is working to expand access while reducing administrative burden and supporting better clinical decision-making.
Attendees will learn how Ochsner Health:
- Expanded access without relying solely on physician growth
- Implemented team-based, longitudinal care model
- Leveraged AI to streamline administrative tasks and enhance care delivery
The session will also explore how emerging models like Primary Care as a Service (PCaaS) can help organizations scale these changes effectively.
For healthcare leaders focused on access, efficiency and care transformation, this discussion offers practical insights grounded in real-world experience.
Register today. If you’re unable to attend live, you’ll receive the on-demand recording.

Preview Short Description
MAY 13, 2026 DOI: 10.1377/he20260326.24181
Understanding ICHRA With Jason Levitis
Join Health Affairs Publishing on May 13 for an exclusive Insider virtual event exploring individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements (ICHRAs) with Urban Institute’s Jason Levitis.
This event is for Health Affairs Insiders only.
An ICHRA is an employer-funded health benefit that allows businesses to provide tax-free reimbursements for individual insurance coverage and medical expenses for employees.
The Trump administration has adopted these benefits as a preferred means to have some Americans gain access to health coverage.
But, ICHRAs have been available to employers since 2020. How effective are they?
On May 13, Jason Levitis, senior fellow in the Health Policy Division at the Urban Institute, will join Health Affairs Publishing’s Kathleen Haddad to get Insiders up to speed on ICHRAs and the evidence behind them.
Levitis and Haddad will discuss the topic for 15 minutes before opening a 15-minute Q&A session for attendees.
Date: May 13, 2026
Time: 1pm – 1:30 pm ET
If you have accessibility or support requirements to participate fully in this event, please contact events@healthaffairs.org to ensure that we can arrange reasonable accommodations.

This May, Breakthrough West will bring together leaders from across health and biotech to explore how scientific and technological advances are moving from theory into real-world impact — and what that means for the future of medicine.
FROM STAT'S EDITORIAL TEAM:
We are about to have more data about human biology than ever before. That is changing how medicines are invented, how they are prescribed, and how patients and physicians interact with unprecedented speed. Medicine has gone from faxes to electronic health records to large language models, from mouse models to organs on a chip to gene editing.
But the biggest — and toughest — change will come when artificial intelligence and other technologies transform the budget-straining process of turning big ideas into actual drugs, upending the economics of one of the world’s most challenging businesses. Here, STAT will ask the perennial, trenchant questions among those in the field: Are we there yet? And how much longer? This extends to an array of transformative new technologies from biotech, health tech, and the world of machine learning. Join us as DNA goes digital.

We recently shared that something big is coming to health research. Before we share more details, we want to tell you why it matters, not just for researchers, but for every person who has ever waited for a diagnosis or a treatment.
|
|
|
All of Us was authorized and funded through the 21st Century Cures Act, a bipartisan commitment to accelerating the development of treatments and cures for the diseases that matter most to Americans. Now in its 10th and final year of Cures Act funding, the program has built something without precedent: one of the world's largest datasets of connected real- world and genomic health data. This is a living, growing research resource that reflects the American population and serves the health of every human.
|
|
|
Over 880,000 participants have joined All of Us and shared their health stories, with most sharing their data and DNA, to power more than 1,325 peer-reviewed publications by over 22,000 researchers in all 50 states and across the globe. That science is already translating into real-world impact:
- Data from 236,393 All of Us participants helped develop and launch a first-of-its-kind clinical genetic test that predicts inherited risk across eight cardiovascular conditions. Clinicians can order this test to identify risk before symptoms appear.
- Researchers used data from 74,000 participants to validate P-CARE, a low-cost prostate cancer risk model now being tested in a clinical trial of 5,000 Veterans.
- Researchers used All of Us to recalibrate polygenic risk scores for 10 common conditions so they work for people of different ancestries, a prerequisite for precision medicine that serves all people.
- All of Us data confirmed that variants in the APOL1 gene influence kidney disease risk among certain populations, and identified a protective variant that reduces risk even in high-risk individuals, opening new paths to earlier detection and treatment.
- Researchers used All of Us as a real-world validation layer for AI-generated drug repurposing hypotheses, identifying three existing medications that may help prevent Alzheimer's
- All of Us hosts one of the largest and most demographically broad wearables datasets in the world, with Fitbit data from more than 59,000 participants spanning 14 years, including over 39 million step observations and 31 million sleep observations. Data established a concrete benchmark: 10,700 steps a day is associated with lower diabetes risk and that 8,000-9,000 daily steps is a meaningful protective threshold across multiple chronic conditions including hypertension, GERD, depression, obesity, and sleep apnea.
- The program's foundational genomic work has uncovered more than 275 million previously unreported genetic variants, nearly four million of which sit in regions tied to disease risk.
- All of Us pioneered the largest research return of genetic results in history, delivering more than 733,000 results to over 277,000 participants. This includes returning personalized health-related DNA results to more than 155,000 participants, with reports detailing whether participants have an increased risk for specific health conditions and how their body might process certain medications differently than expected.
|
|
|
Soon, the program will release the largest expansion of its resource for researchers, introducing new types of data and deepening the connected view of health. The updated dataset is the most concrete demonstration yet of what our country’s investment and our participants’ trust have produced.
