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.

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.

This presentation addresses how to develop products and innovative solutions that fit the needs of a varied market.
