Artificial intelligence includes tools and instruments, not just robots, that improve health care

At the OCTANe Medical Technology Innovation Forum, a speaker said artificial intelligence is not just about robots being used in health care, but also instruments and resources that will improve clinicians' workloads and diagnostics. "Artificial Intelligence is not about robotics, but more about an orchestra of available tools and instruments," Anthony C. Chang, MBA, MPH, MS, pediatric cardiology chief intelligence and innovation officer at Children's Hospital of Orange County, said during his presentation. Chang said robotic processing automation is underutilized. He said it will have a big impact in health care. "Robotic processing automation is simply having machines automating the things humans do. It is taking the robots out of the human," he said.
