Change is often driven by necessity, and in the short time since the outbreak of Covid-19, we have witnessed the potential of technology to transform healthcare delivery and save lives. From patient appointments using online chat services, to AI-powered robots protecting healthcare workers by delivering medicine in Covid-19 surge clinics; and rapid remote analysis of cardiac images helping with the triage of high-risk patients*.
The task ahead is to make sure that we don’t forget the value and impact of what we have seen technology, and particularly AI can do — and the resulting benefits of easing the ongoing pressure on healthcare providers, while giving patients the best possible chance of living a healthy life.
