One expert's perspective on smart health AI investments

Hospitals need better visibility into the various AI-enabled tools coming onto their networks, and the ability to track new traffic patterns, security vulnerabilities and privacy risks, says Richard Staynings, chief security strategist at Cylera.

Yesha Patel, data scientist at Keck Medicine of USC says some applications come out of the box "ready to go." Others require a more customized approach – but that requires a lot of in-house expertise, like data scientists and AI architects.

Properly deployed, AI agents could expand physicians' capabilities, allowing them to be more focused on care delivery, says Dr. Jonah Feldman, medical director for clinical transformation and informatics at NYU Langone.
