Thank you for joining us for this special episode of Good Tech Compassionate Healthcare. In May of 2024, AMS Healthcare was thrilled to convene 170 healthcare stakeholders from across Ontario to delve into the timely and ethical scaling of AI in our healthcare sector. The insights we gained were invaluable. The conference revealed a consensus that there is an urgent need to deploy AI solutions in the most capacity-challenged areas of our healthcare system, particularly in primary care. This move is crucial to reducing workforce burnout and improving workflows. Many of the leaders that we spoke to at our conference were asked a series of questions about AI in healthcare, and we will be sharing their insightful responses in these special episodes.
