He discussed at par the role of AI in health care i.e., Block chain technology, Clinical trial book keeping, Health care institutions and providers, credentials verification of physicians, and Consumers & providers and payers. He fantasizes the audience by referring to currently used terms in AI healthcare such as smart watches, data recoding by wearable devices, bioelectronics medicines, Internet of healthy things IOHT, etc. He also dealt with the challenges associated with AI such as Disparity in pharma data, Data analytics is time consuming and resource heavy, Data inaccuracies and ambiguity around relevance, Cost and above all, rules and regulations not well defined. He also enlisted the AI based diagnostic tools which have entered into hospitals and the others which are in fundamental stage. He also highlighted the Star trek Devices i.e, medical devices of the future like, Bionic eye, 3 D print sockets for artificial limbs, contact lens for blood glucose level, Virtual dissection table, Robotic assistance, Biometric tattoos, Sensor in teeth, Printed skin, in-silico clinical trials, the medical tricorder. In the end, he patiently addressed all the queries of the delegates. Overall, it was very informative and illuminating session for audience and can motivate them to pursue their career in this emerging field.
