Topic: AI in Healthcare: Practical Tools to Support Clinical Care
Presenter: Dr. Mohamed Alarakhia
Description: This presentation explores practical implementations of AI in health care, with a focus on tools that are already enhancing clinical workflows. We’ll dive into how AI scribes can reduce documentation burdens, how AI receptionists improve patient access, and how digital twins can support more personalized care. Each example highlights real-world use cases that demonstrate immediate value to clinicians and health systems. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how AI can be meaningfully integrated into day-to-day practice.
