AI & machine learning fight death with data

Technology is fighting death with data – including machine learning and artificial intelligence. Last week marked the annual Health Informatics New Zealand conference, in which local and global innovators spoke about how their work is changing local healthcare models. Amongst the New Zealand companies leading the way are Umbrellar and Auckland's Mercy Radiology and Clinics. "If we want healthcare service delivery to be consistent across the country, and we want to provide the best value to patients, we need to embrace digital technology," comments Mercy Radiology and Clinics CEO Lloyd McCann. "We need to address cultural barriers to change in the sector. Data, information and intelligence will help us drive this cultural transformation."
