Frost & Sullivan's Reenita Das says that healthcare is adopting a more consumer-driven model in which patients can assemble personalized, preventive care using AI-powered tools, wearables and digital twins.

Nurses can have a conversation with the patient at the bedside and the documentation is done, which improves both the clinical and patient experience, says Dr. Steve Buslovich, CMO of Senior Care at PointClickCare.

Hyland Healthcare's Michael Burke talks about how governments across the GCC are investing heavily in digital health projects, unifying patient records and emerging as a global model for interoperability and connected care.

Don Woodlock with InterSystems stresses that AI must be linked to interoperable systems and patient data to deliver real impact. Aligning an organization's AI goals with interoperability mandates is key to practical AI deployment.

Ed Marx, longtime healthcare CIO, explains that with more patients using artificial intelligence on their own to help with self-diagnosis, treatment and more, health systems that don't offer innovative new services could see revenue erode.

Using a point solution to scale artificial intelligence may not be effective when dealing "with every possible disease, patient or service line," and relying on one LLM could be too rigid for future coding, says Pelu Tran, Ferrum Health CEO.

HealthEx CEO Dr. Priyanka Agarwal describes how identity verification technology makes it possible for patients to go to TEFCA and get their records, and weighs in on how the industry can rapidly scale Individual Access Services.

Follow-up appointments, transitional care when there’s the risk of readmission, benefit patients and can be done by telehealth, says Dr. Matthew Thompson, an ER physician and the CEO and cofounder of Telescope Health.

Dr. Atul Gupta, CMO of diagnosis and treatment at Philips, and Kevin Roesch, assistant VP of cardiology and imaging services for Methodist Hospitals, discuss their partnership to develop new interventional labs to support patients in Indiana.

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.

The new research aims to explore models' diagnostic and management reasoning skills – and what that could mean for clinicians and patients, says Dr. Ethan Goh, executive director of Stanford ARISE, the AI Research and Science Evaluation Network.

Artificial intelligence-driven cost estimation tools and telehealth are addressing patient care gaps and improving care access while lowering total costs for employee groups, says Robin Glass, president of Included Health.
