Fireside Chat—AI in Health: Creating Personalized Insights

AI and machine learning are expanding the value of smart products and systems. The application of various forms of AI to IoT products and services promises to disrupt a variety of vertical industries, including healthcare.

This session explores how AI and machine learning are advancing healthcare insights and how consumer-reported data from wearables and connected health and home devices can help improve outcomes. It also addresses ongoing challenges in making the most of this new wealth of health data while also securing sensitive personal health information.

Keynote - IoT, AI, & 5G Enabling the Next Frontier in Personalized Healthcare

	Gil Adato Vice President, Digital Health/IoT Philips
What we have been calling healthcare throughout the years has not been healthcare; it has been "sick care." Global healthcare is at a tipping point, yet we are at the verge of something truly transformational in healthcare, driven by the IoT, AI, and 5G to create an experience truly engaging for people, patients, and caregivers. Together these advanced solutions will not only enable real-time, personalized, adaptive, and predictive healthcare, providing better care and user experiences at lower costs, but also make possible things that never existed or that seemed utopian not too long ago.
