Excited to speak at AHIP.

Had a wonderful conversation with @rotival and @peteratmsr today for #CambiaChat

Future of Healthcare is exciting but not with lack of urgency today. Almost one out of every 5 dollars goes to Healthcare in the US. This is not sustainable. AI truly promises to help reduce costs while better serving the consumers. #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

A5 - Providers and Payers simply want the best outcomes for the consumer. AI gives them new tools to do just that. #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

A5 - There are various data sets that sit in Silos. Payers have episodic data. Providers have deeper EHR data. Combination of the two will help serve the consumer better! On top of that, compliment that with SDoH data and it unlocks new ways to serve people’s needs. #CambiaChat

@billcox It is hard to make an #EHR #patient or #provider centric. #AI can polish the edges but can't fix a solution that's designed for registration & billing. #OpenDataStandards, #AntiInfoBlocking, #PersonCentric #Innovation will break the inertia! #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@peteratmsr @Cambia @peteratmsr Definitely wellness companions for sure. Already seeing that trend. But with more adoption of Precision Medicine, It’s not hard to imagine a future of AI assistants serving as Healthcare companions too. #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@Cambia One thing I wonder about is whether #AI assistants (think: Siri of the future) will be healthcare companions. An obvious thought, in a way, but not so clear if and how this will pan out. #CambiaChat

Q4: How can AI make health care more person-focused? #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

A4 - AI, along with advancements in genomics, will be a major catalyst for precision medicine. #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@peteratmsr @Cambia A4 - Absolutely Peter. Couldn’t agree more. AI will enable doctors and nurses to do more and spend time where it matters the most. #CambiaChat #HLTH2019 @peteratmsr

@Cambia Focusing on the patient experience is important, but #AI can enable caregivers to do that better. Tech for "ambient clinical intelligence" can liberate doctors and nurses to engage in more human ways with their patients. #CambiaChat

A4 - Healthcare is very personal. Two people might have the same clinical condition but they would still have different social, emotional, financial situation etc.. AI will enable deep personalization and consumer engagement at a whole different level. #SDoH #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@Cambia A4 - It’s about getting to the right “outcomes” at the right time for the consumer. So shifting from output to outcome. AI will unlock deeper insights that will help make Healthcare person-focused. #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

#FHIR will fuel the next generation of innovation. We’re excited! #CambiaChat

@peteratmsr @Cambia @Health_IT A3 - Great to see this Peter. Our stance is very similar - data belong to the consumer and should only be used to serve/help the consumer. That is one of our core operating principles. @peteratmsr #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@Cambia A3: #AI is evolving rapidly, and therefore the ethical issues are evolving, too. This implies a human-led governance approach. At @Health_IT we follow our company's AI principles. #CambiaChat microsoft.com/en-us/AI/our-a…

Let’s talk about Q3: Data is only as good as what people are willing to share. How can we overcome the trust barrier and ethical concerns in data sharing? #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@CASjoquist A3 - well said Constance. Data can and should create value for the consumer. #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@Cambia A3 - There are more and more conversations happening around Ethics. Data belongs to the consumer and should only be used to serve the consumer. @rotival #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@peteratmsr @CASjoquist A2 - Synthetic data is a powerful toolkit. @peteratmsr #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@CASjoquist And related to clean, actionable data: de-identification, generation of good synthetic data, normalization... #CambiaChat

@peteratmsr @Cambia A2 - Couldn’t agree more Peter. There is a big difference between “Data” and “information”. Not all data is relevant or useful. Understanding and improving the “Information” is key. @peteratmsr #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@Cambia A2: I worry about the "health data funnel". Easy to agree to do something great with relevant dataset. But 1/10 of these turn into real data, and then 1/10 of those turn into actionable insights. #CambiaChat

Time for Q2: What are the biggest challenges facing advancement of AI technology in the health care space? #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@rotival A1 - AI will free up valuable time for the RNs and MDs so that they can spend it where it matters the most. #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

Individual's seek deeply personal and compassionate services, microbots that automate redundant tasks and allow RNs and MDs to maximize their personal attention are already having a great impact for customer & concierge services #CambiaChat #HLTH2019 @ShafiqFA

@peteratmsr @Cambia Reinforcement learning is extremely promising #CambiaChat

@Cambia A1: Getting down to AI foundations... Reinforcement learning and other #ML approaches that are less data-dependent will rise in importance and could be transformative. So much of what we want to do is data constrained today. #CambiaChat

Ready for Q1? What advancements in AI will have the biggest impact in transforming health care? #CambiaChat #HLTH2019

@Cambia Q2 - Infrastructure is complex and siloe’d. Interoperability and standardization is still early stages @rotival #CambiaChat
