One expert's perspective on smart health AI investments

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.

AI is more readily adopted in other industries, and there are "thousands of reasons for that," says HIMSS Chief Scientific Research Officer Anne Snowdon. The biggest is that in healthcare lives are at stake. "We don't ever take that for granted."
