Innovating with health data: a story from the inside out

There is no arguing that digital transformation has helped revolutionise many industries, including healthcare. In my role as a data scientist, I have seen our field’s solutions and strategies change as technology advanced and patients’ expectations evolved. Now that I work as a data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) partnerships lead, I strive for a multi-disciplinary approach to help pave the way for digital transformation to increase the adoption of digital technologies. To achieve the full potential of digital transformation in healthcare, we have to overcome technological as well as regulatory hurdles, which can only happen if we work together. Working in a collaborative ecosystem is critical for healthcare innovation. When bringing together industry technicians, academics, and clinicians, we focus our efforts on clinical problems to solve with digital technology. This is key: technology is the tool we use to address clinical problems, not the driver of our developments.
