Why is data so important in healthcare?

About this episode

This episode explores the importance of data in healthcare, including analysis methods, AI applications, and the impact of historical legal rulings.

Why is data so important in the healthcare sector? This week, Technology Now is diving into the world of data analysis in healthcare. We will be asking how different methods of data analysis can lead to different outcomes, we’ll be exploring how AI can be used to help find patterns in huge quantities of data, and we’ll be asking how historical legal rulings still influence our healthcare sector today. Lisa Marceau founder and CEO of Joyous and Alpha Millennial Health, tells us more. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Sam Jarrell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.
