The lively discussion centered on innovation, government regulations, and how companies such as Pointwest can speed up the large-scale adoption of new technologies.
Mac Aydinan, Head of Artificial Intelligence, talked about how AI plays in healthcare today in the panel discussion on Disruptive technologies in Health IT – AI and Automation. He shared AI uses in digital onboarding where AI will lift the information from the photographed IDs of patients and encode it into the system. He also shared natural language processing, enabling machines to understand what people are saying as used in voice and chatbots.
