Three Reasons To Attend Wednesday's Voice of Healthcare Summit
Traditionally held each year at Harvard Medical School; subscriber-exclusive promo code included at end of letter
A silver lining amidst the pandemic has been a much more urgent embrace of telehealth and digital health solutions.
With a massive backlog of deferred procedures and visits, built up these last few months as medical resources went to those suffering from COVID-19, healthcare is primed to make use of voice tech and conversational AI as it settles in to its own new reality.
For those companies that had developed their technologies and market positioning over the last couple of years, it’s now off to the races.
I’m moderating The Voice of Healthcare Summit this Wednesday - an event which typically takes place at Harvard Medical School, but this year is virtual. (You can register for the event here.)
Let’s dig in to three good reasons to attend:
1) You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how major players in the voice/AI realm are impacting modern healthcare, today, right now.
Constant Companion, the event’s Presenting Sponsor, has brought voice and AI to the world of senior living and aging in place. An opening keynote from CEO Mark Gray will set the tone for the rest of the day’s content.
Canary Speech has brought voice and AI to the world of diagnosing latent human conditions.
Orbita has brought voice and AI to several areas of need within modern healthcare.
CardioCube has brought voice and AI to the world of ongoing patient care, providing a new vision for employer-provided plans and management.
Bola has brought voice and AI to the electronic health record, as has iScribe Health, and both have something unique to offer.
Voicify has made creating innovative voice and AI experiences possible for a variety of healthcare providers and companies.
And Cyrano has brought deep insight and contextual analysis to speech and conversation, paving the way to more meaningful interactions between patients and providers.
These are companies you’re going to hear from for a long time to come.
Might as well start now.
2) The overall conference keynote will be delivered by Dr. Chithra Durgam, a dentist who loves and serves her patients, as well as a masterful innovator who explores the outer bounds of patient customer service as well as use of technology to market herself and her business to the world.
She has a clear line of sight on the fruits of infusing voice technology into modern healthcare. And she also has a clear line of sight on the necessity and urgency of change, amidst this global pandemic.
You won’t want to miss her talk.
3) You’ll walk away with insight on bleeding-edge innovation, lying just beyond the frontier of what voice offers today.
Dr. Phillip Alvelda will discuss AI-driven computer vision applied to healthcare.
Dr. Sunny Malhotra will discuss the role intelligent automation has to play within cardiology, his specialty, and healthcare at large.
Dr. Reid Maclellan (Harvard Medical School) and Dr. Matt Cybulsky (Ionia), the co-hosts of popular podcast The Voice of Healthcare, will share lessons they’ve learned from speaking with innovators across the healthcare landscape.
And Mika Eddy of UnitedHealthcare will close an action-packed program with perspective on how UHC, one of the largest healthcare providers in the world, views voice/AI and has incorporated it within the company.
If you need something to hold you over til Wednesday, enjoy the five-part Special Healthcare Series of This Week In Voice recorded over the last few weeks, leading up to the conference.
