World Medical Innovation Forum 2018
Medical knowledge is
increasing at an exponential rate, so as of 2018, it is doubling every 73 days!
I find that hard to believe but certainly agree that it is humanly impossible
to stay current on all aspects of healthcare just by reading more or
attending more conference. We must use team science and interdisciplinary models of care. We also must embrace technology solutions. Therein lays the power of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
This will undoubtedly transform how we practice medicine tomorrow.
I write this blog post from
the World Medical Innovation Forum in Boston, dedicated to the topic of
artificial intelligence (AI) applications in healthcare. Over 1600 professionals
from very diverse backgrounds (engineers and
industry to startups and clinicians) came
together to discuss how to use AI to make healthcare better, safer,
and more efficient. Some estimate that AI combined with big data will reduce
total healthcare spending by $450 billion annually!
There are endless
opportunities for research and innovation as AI gets developed and applied in
healthcare. I’m excited about this next phase of healthcare and how MedStar can
be on the leading edge.
Below are some pictures,
including the opening remarks by Charlie Baker, the Governor of Massachusetts
and ‘fireside chats’ with CEO’s and lead
academicians from around the country.
