Healthcare 2030: The Future of Intelligent Healthcare

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are set to transform healthcare. Hosting the nation’s largest integrated healthcare system as well as droves of data points across disparate systems, government has the potential to become one of the biggest innovators in and beneficiaries of AI-driven healthcare.

At this event, Nextgov sat down with technology and healthcare leaders across government to explore the possibilities of AI applications in government, from optimizing the healthcare enterprise, to integrating robotics into patient care, to identifying and mitigating public health threats before they emerge. We also talked through the strategies government agencies need to develop now to prepare for the digital future of healthcare.
