RCM Answers - Healthcare's Investment in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

The "Rise of the Healthy Machines" sounded more like a screening of a sci-fi movie than a Medstartr Health 2.0 NYC event. But to this group of over 180 attendees, this title conjures images of "machines" that help us stay healthy, help doctors give better care and help researchers give us better answers. Moderator Fard Johnmar, President of Enspektos fielded questions from the audience to the expert panelists on the newest analytics and algorithms now embedded in health technology. Dialogues highlighted, on a personal level, the struggle healthcare is having with the hype of machine learning and artificial intelligence and the whether it is a "one-size fits all" solution. A 30-second definition of machine learning and what may be its biggest benefit for healthcare was the first request of the panel.
