machine learning and artificial
00:00:01
intelligence have touched almost all
00:00:03
aspects of healthcare at this point if
00:00:04
you think of everything from who and how
00:00:07
you get reminders to pick up
00:00:08
prescriptions to even how you're being
00:00:10
triaged in the emergency department
00:00:12
machine learning plays a key role in all
00:00:13
of those facets if you think about
00:00:15
Radiology reports that's arguably the
00:00:17
place where AI had the greatest
00:00:19
penetration so many many of our
00:00:21
Radiology reports are read Now by
00:00:23
machines and then finally if we think
00:00:24
about triaging in the emergency
00:00:26
department that's another important area
00:00:28
of application that's really reducing
00:00:30
overall length of stay within the
00:00:31
emergency department and we know that
00:00:32
when length of stay is reduced that has
00:00:34
important implications from everything
00:00:36
from complications to long-term
00:00:37
mortality so AI is already playing a
00:00:39
critical role in a lot of domains of
00:00:47
healthcare
