AI and the Future of Healthcare

Agenda:

6:00 - 6:15 - Intro
6:15 - 6:30 - COVID-19 Data Challenge survey responses
6:30 - 7:15 - Senthil Kumaran
7:15 - 8:00 - Q&A

In this session, we will see how Artificial Intelligence is changing the medical diagnostic industry. Few telemedicine platforms are using a virtual triaging engine for checking symptoms, then using AI to diagnose and create treatment options for providers.

This session will explore how Virtuwell, a leading telemedicine platform from St. Paul, is deploying predictive analytics to reduce bottlenecks and improve patient flow. Total healthcare costs are reduced by funneling more relevant patient and provider data to electronic medical records. Improvements to customer satisfaction in a virtual setting are made by analyzing the patient data set, systematic follow-ups, and connecting patients with the right clinician at the right time. Infusing telemedicine platforms with machine learning algorithms will mean better diagnoses with less human effort, not only on acute conditions but on some chronic conditions as well. We will see how AI is used in cardiovascular diagnosis and lung cancer detection, ophthalmic analysis, diabetic retinopathy and learn who is working on Smart IoT technology that will decrease the cost of delivering healthcare services while improving quality of life for patients.
