How Artificial Intelligence Can Impact Healthcare

I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Mimi Winsburg, a psychiatrist and co-founder of Brightside Health, about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. Dr. Winsburg highlighted the potential of AI in addressing the current national mental health crisis and the shortage of healthcare providers. She discussed how AI can assist healthcare providers in delivering more personalized and timely care, reducing administrative tasks, predicting potential health risks, and even aiding in diagnosing diseases. By leveraging technology like AI, healthcare can become more accessible, efficient, and effective in improving patient outcomes.
