How AI Enables a Radical Shift in Understanding Your Health
Summary
What would healthcare look like if we could connect the dots? Care today is still episodic and fragmented, without capturing the bigger picture of your health. This conversation brings together clinician and health tech perspectives to explore how interoperability and connecting disparate data, from wearables to health records, holds the promise to unlock personalized preventative health. We’ll discuss how AI-powered tools are closing data and access gaps, while ensuring data safety and privacy, enabling us to turn fragmented health information into whole person care that never clocks out.
