A future with AI in healthcare without borders

During these uncertain times over COVID-19, Intelligent Health, the annual meeting place of the global AI and healthcare communities taking place every September in Switzerland, has been redesigned in a new online format and theme “Without Borders”. 

At a time when collaboration globally is more important than ever; innovation must continue and technology and healthcare professionals must join forces to fight the biggest disruptor the world has faced in a generation.

As John Nosta, President of NostaLab puts it: “A future with AI in healthcare without borders is where there is a free exchange of ideas, where we all jump off the ledge of convention and build wings on the way down”.

The Intelligent Health community of 54,000 multidisciplinary professionals have been working together to find valuable solutions not only to the current global pandemic but also other critical challenges the medical world has been facing for years. They will come together online on September 9th and 10th 2020 to network, share ideas and hear from experts who are innovating and working to save lives beyond the global pandemic.

The current pandemic has turned into a gateway for AI adoption in healthcare, from doctors using AI to triage covid-19 patients to startups retooling and validating screening tools for COVID-19. According to Accenture, growth in the AI health market is expected to reach $6.6 billion by 2021—that’s a compound annual growth rate of 40 percent.

"Now is not a time to delay action, inertia kills. Clinicians in our community are under pressure like never before as we face the crisis of our times in the healthcare system. InspiredMinds has always provided a neutral platform for the most powerful names in health, technology and innovation to speak openly and make changes in a supportive and collaborative environment. As a world first we have now curated the very best of our community and opened the IH Inspired platform." says Sarah Porter, Founder of InspiredMinds.
