AI-Driven Healthcare: Moving Beyond Analytics to Actionable Insights

Artificial intelligence’s exact role in healthcare transformation is still taking shape. Will AI directly impact care delivery? Should it instead focus on relieving administrative strain? Tech company leaders want to offer solutions to a burdened system, but the perfect target for their investments still seems elusive.

In the inaugural episode of the Newfire Podcast, Emily Lindemer, Executive Director of Data and Healthcare Innovation at JPMorgan Chase & Co., joins Gordon Wong, Newfire’s Head of Data and AI, to explore today’s most urgent questions about AI in healthcare. They share insights and guidance on topics such as:

Targeting healthcare areas where AI can deliver real impact.
Assessing data infrastructure and technical readiness for successful AI product development.
Determining where AI can be implemented with fewer compliance hurdles
Approaching the right decision-makers with new AI-driven offerings.

If you're planning to build and sell an AI product, it's crucial to consider whether your customers have the technical infrastructure to support it. Do they have the necessary data? Right now, that’s often not the case in healthcare. Many health systems are only just migrating to the cloud and lack the tools to load their data into an AI algorithm to get meaningful answers.
