Digital Health and the Direction of AI in Healthcare

Prior to KLAS' Digital Health Investment Symposium (DHIS), I engaged in discussions with experts from our sponsoring companies: Seth Kneller from TripleTree, Walt Breakell from Marwood Group, Doug Greenberg from Korn Ferry, and Alya Sulaiman from McDermott Will & Emery. Our conversations revolved around critical healthcare IT topics, with a focus on digital health and AI's trajectory. Digital health spans various aspects of healthcare. Particularly intriguing is its potential to address cost challenges, labor shortages, and inefficiencies in care delivery. Market interest remains strong in companies tackling these industry pain points, suggesting increased mergers and acquisitions in these domains. Digital health not only enhances operations and access but also elevates patient and clinician satisfaction while improving health outcomes. Despite significant digital health investments, the industry is still in its early stages, with many organizations yet to realize the full potential of these tools.
