Healthcare & Artificial Intelligence, with GlobalNet21

Join members of GlobalNet21 and Imperial College in this discussion of Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare. What impact will AI have for patients in the years ahead? How will AI effect the work of practitioners? And what ethical concerns need special attention?

Healthcare sectors are increasingly adopting artificial intelligence to improve patient care and improve process efficiencies. Clearly, the use of AI in medicine has been expanding in the last few years. This is partly due to a desire by medical providers to expand their care offerings, and partly due to the maturing of artificial intelligence itself – AI has grown by leaps and bounds in the last couple years.

At this point, AI in healthcare spans many of the core areas in medicine. AI shapes – to a lesser or greater degree – everything from diagnostics to health and wellness to smart devices. In many ways, AI technology has become a "second layer" of healthcare provider. This is because AI software has the potential to adapt without human intervention, so it can "learn" to target human health needs on its own.

== Speakers ==

The lead speakers at this event will be:

Simon Hooper, the co founder and CEO of RemindMeCare - a unique system (which is christened ‘Activity Software’ to differentiate it from Care Planning and Care Recording Software) that serves the ‘activity’ needs of all those parties involved in the person centred care process and uses the outcome data to further improve care.

David Wood, the Chair of the London Futurists, and Executive Director of the technoprogressive think-tank Transpolitica. Amongst other points, David will be sharing his observations on the recent thought-provoking book by Eric Topol, "Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again", https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40915762-deep-medicine

The meeting will be chaired by Francis Sealey of GlobalNet21, https://www.meetup.com/GlobalNet21/.
