The Department of Health and Human Services’ Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy (ASTP) leads federal efforts to advance the adoption of health IT and technology. This includes healthcare artificial intelligence (AI).
Across the industry, AI-enabled systems are becoming common – from drug discovery and diagnostics to back-office and insurance workflows.
For ASTP, this presents new concerns and new opportunities. Agency leaders and policy staff need to stay abreast of AI advancements, but they lack the time to sift through volumes of research and industry news for the most salient stories.
A long-time Spire client, ASTP asked Spire to deliver an efficient and cost-effective weekly digest of the most noteworthy developments related to the use of AI in healthcare.
Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy (ASTP)
To filter through the avalanche of content published each week, we turned to AI itself.
Using an open system, we developed a solution that conducts weekly scans and ranks articles by relevance. Over time, we tuned the prompts to deliver a curated list of articles for ASTP leaders and policy teams.
With AI, we can scan and review hundreds of articles in moments, allowing us to focus instead on the presentation of the information.
To make the digest easier to consume, once again we harnessed the power of AI.
Our system groups articles by topics of interest to ASTP staff and generates short summaries so readers can glean key takeaways at a glance. Links make it easy to delve deeper into articles on demand.
With AI, we dramatically accelerated the delivery of each week’s digest.

To encourage readership and manage costs to the client, we designed a visually compelling template that simplifies the process of preparing the digest email each week. The template uses standard HTML formatting, which the AI system implements, and enables ASTP to send, monitor, and track the success of each weekly email.
Spire also ensures that every digest is reviewed by a human editor who understands ASTP and the needs of its staff.
