Healthcare Industry Update & Leveraging Big Data
As the population ages, we are observing increasing non-communicable diseases globally. The treatment paradigm coupled with the speed of innovation necessitates leveraging as much of the available tools while delivering quality healthcare. Many technologies such as machine learning, AI and 3D patient specific implants are associated with a lot of data requiring high level of quality systems coupled with HIPAA compliance. The presentation will highlight healthcare changes in our world and highlight technologies that can be leveraged to deliver innovative solutions to improve clinical outcomes.
