In addition to the EU's GDPR, several other data privacy laws are being enforced across the globe. Between these stringent, potentially punitive laws and an increase in remote work due to COVID, there's never been a better time to strengthen your organization's data management processes.
Artificial intelligence is often touted as one of the most groundbreaking technological innovations of the decade, and many are turning to AI-based systems to confront the pandemic and tackle changing workplaces. At the epicentre of this unfolding global crisis, the healthcare industry has been hit the hardest; however, with AI finding applications in disease detection and prediction, patient triaging, administrative processes, and more, the future of the healthcare sector is promising.
This podcast will explore AI's growing role in the healthcare industry, and how AI-based models can enhance various aspects of our healthcare system.
