Looking forward to this! It’ll be great to hear about the work that’s going on and how future tele-health might look.

Looking forward to seeing everyone online tonight for this webinar! Anything we should discuss? My thoughts are:

What are the use cases for AI in telehealth? Triage, “virtual” doctor, transcribing, patient education, clinical decision support, AI avatars/voice interfaces

What are the risks? “Hallucinations”, data security and sovereignty, deskilling and reliance, digital divide.

How will we measure if it is safe and effective? How will we measure equity of access and use?

What do the early adopters of AI for telemedicine tell us? Is there any reliable research so far?
