Artificial intelligence tech can help patient backlog

Hospitals and private practices are seeing an increase in patients. They said that, however, is not a bad thing. Patients are returning for diagnostic procedures, surgeries, and health screenings that were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "During the early part of the pandemic, our patients volume really decreased dramatically," said Adam Trybus, chief radiologist at 611 MRI in Altoona. "Patients were postponing routine care. They were only coming in for emergencies."
