Please join the Arizona Technology Council for its fourth annual MedTech Conference on Wednesday, August 26, 2020
EVENT UPDATE: Out of concern for the health and safety of our members, speakers, employees and partners over the evolving public health risks related to COVID-19, we are postponing the 2020 MedTech Conference until August 26, 2020. We also have changed the event to a Virtual model to attending from the safety of your home home or office. This decision was made by the Arizona Technology Council and the Council’s MedTech Committee based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as well as the Arizona Department of Health Services and is taken out of an abundance of caution and not in response to any specific incident.
Attendees will hear from healthcare industry thought leaders who will discuss the use of augmented intelligence (AI) — the intersection of machine learning and advanced applications where clinical knowledge and medical data converge on a single platform — to enhance and streamline workflow by empowering them in their ecosystem, as well as help them to facilitate collaborative and intelligent decisions. Unlike artificial intelligence, which tries to replicate human intelligence, augmented intelligence works with and amplifies human intelligence.
Expert panelists will also discuss new technologies in healthcare augmented intelligence:
- Wearable AI: Wearable monitoring devices that can transmit patient data are evolving rapidly.
- Tools for diagnosis + physician training: The increasing use of machine learning algorithms to enhance imaging and clinical decision making.
- Health systems and data analytics: Applying AI to health system administrative workflow to improve care is rapidly evolving.
