STAT Summit West: Registration now open for San Francisco event

Discover the impact of AI and emerging tech on health innovation

ABOUT BREAKTHROUGH WEST

In Medicine, Artificial Intelligence Gets Real

Yes, the hype around AI in medicine is breathless. But look at the reality. New transcription technology is becoming routine for doctors’ visits. Drug companies use AI to optimize the creation of new molecules and to run clinical trials. AI systems may even prove useful in giving doctors advice.

At this event, we’ll provide health care leaders a blueprint for separating the AI efforts that will speed innovation and patient care from those that won’t, explore new breakthroughs and the latest emerging technology, and help foster discussion about the most urgent trends in health technology and medical research.
