Some insightful discussions at the FutureofHealth summit in Dubai today.
Shaista Asif, the group CEO of PureHealth, a leading hospital group expanding globally, has recently launched an AI enabled app to >500K patients in its network. Her vision is that primary care could even become free over time due to agentic AI.
Taha Kass-Hout, MD, MS, Global Chief Science & Data Officer of GE HealthCare agrees. They are building a multitude of multimodal models including a platform play like Care Intellect Oncology that gives oncologist access to specialized AI agents, mimicking the multi-disciplinary approach of a tumor board.
Followed by a great panel discussion on how we keep these agents actually accountable, including Ali Parsa, Richard Jenkins, Taha Kass-Hout, MD, MS, Philippe GERWILL, Elizabeth Churchill and Rizwan Tufail
