HL7 Meeting to Focus on Intersection of Clinical Genomics, AI

HL7 is holding its annual conference on genomics February 20-21 in Washington, D.C. The theme this year is focused on the intersection of clinical genomics and artificial intelligence. To preview the meeting, I recently interviewed Grant Wood, a member of the HL7 Clinical Genomics Work Group and a senior strategist at Intermountain Healthcare's Clinical Genetics Institute, who is chairing the meeting. HCI: Why did HL7 choose to focus on the confluence of clinical genomics and AI this year? Wood: AI and machine learning are getting a lot of hype now.
