ALTIUS Answers: Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare - an interview with Richard Mackey
Automation in healthcare is a complicated subject. Most industry leaders are familiar with the benefits but have strong reservations about the cost and execution. In the latest ALTIUS Answers podcast, CEO Stephanie Dorwart is joined by Richard Mackey, SVP of Information Technology at Intalere, to discuss Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the advancements it is making in both the business and delivery of healthcare.
