Unpacking AI and Big Data in Healthcare

Abstract

Artificial intelligence in healthcare is still veiled within buzz, mystery and ideas of robots replacing physicians. To mainstream AI in workflows and business models, we need to unpack the advanced data science techniques behind it, the practical use cases within health organizations, and how AI can solve some of the industry’s biggest challenges. Lumiata is a medical AI company that provides clinically-based, real-time predictions to health organizations to enable them to navigate risk. We believe that the application of AI in healthcare has enormous potentials to accelerate value and reduce costs by drastically improving organizations' power of predictability, personalization and automation. To illustrate this opportunity, Ash Damle will take a deep dive into Lumiata’s core technological engine - the Lumiata Medical Graph, which applies graph-based machine learning to compute the complex relationships between health data in the same way that a physician would, and how this medical AI engine powers personalization and automation within risk and care management.
