Topic

AI in Healthcare - Natural Language and the promise of voice assistants in the clinic

Abstract

Good medical documentation is critical to good healthcare. Unfortunately, good documentation relies on trained physicians spending many extra hours of their day on the computer, or less trained scribes doing the documentation on the physicians' behalf. With the rise of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and big data storage and analysis technologies, this model is being disrupted. But where is the promise being sabotaged by the realities of adopting disruptive healthcare technologies? As a leading consultant to healthcare technology companies across the world, this presentation will include an overview of the use of AI technologies in the clinic, the promises of its rise over the past few years, and the accelerants and roadblocks coming in the future.
