TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 - 5:00PM PT / 6:00PM MT / 8:00PM ET

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), which is simply intelligence demonstrated by machines, are transforming society - from retail (e.g. Amazon) to transportation (e.g. self driving cars) to hospitality (e.g. Airbnb). Healthcare, among the most data-rich sectors, is expected to also be transformed by data, virtual care, and AI in the coming decades. This webinar will review the concept of AI, its applications in healthcare, and its implications for clinicians and healthcare administrators in the future. 

The panelists include:

• Noorshan Nanji - Aga Khan Health Board for British Columbia (moderator)

• Dr. Muhammad Mamdani - VP, Data Science & Advanced Analytics, Unity Health Toronto

Register for the webinar on the Health & Wellness Events page on The Ismaili Canada website.
