My experience at the Ai4 Healthcare Conference

What happens when you bring physicians, surgeons, CEOs, CTOs, COOs, strategic directors, product managers, software engineers, data analysts, professors and researchers together to discuss the current state of artificial intelligence in healthcare? Well, that’s the idea behind Ai4 Healthcare .

Ai4 Healthcare is a two day conference in NYC that focuses on bringing data practitioners, medical clinicians, and business leaders together to facilitate the discussion around the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare. The event featured over 85 speakers , plenty of networking opportunities and technical/non-technical “track” guidance on which talks to attend. Being as I was writing for Towards Data Science and am an engineer myself, I focused mostly on the technical talks.

My observations at the conference very clearly indicate that Ai4 Healthcare represents a much needed conversation between all of these professionals to ensure that the goals of the clinicians and technologists align. The most common goals I noticed were:

  • Providing physicians more face to face time with patients
  • Providing patients the best care possible regardless of their location
  • Building explainability into models for clinical acceptance
  • Reducing wasteful spending
