This year's conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, highlights real-world digital health transformation strategies and AI applications in healthcare.

Artificial intelligence that detects surgical site infections from patient-submitted photos with 73% accuracy could enhance patient care and also reduce clinician burdens following surgeries.

Mark Newman, founder and CEO of Nomi Health, says the system makes it hard for primary care physicians to collect payment, so 30%-40% of their time is spent on administrative tasks.

Mike Reagin says the health system is gaining provider satisfaction from an in-house digital assistant that helps with tasks such as summarizing documents, and its ambient voice technology has enabled productivity gains.

Robert Birkett of the Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust and Mid Yorkshire Teaching Trust says digital success comes from creating diverse, engaged teams comprising upskilled clinicians, apprentices and technical staff.  

Lori Walker, Presbyterian Healthcare Services' CMIO, says artificial intelligence that summarizes rural patients' multiple health challenges and social determinants for consumption during 30-minute patient visits is reducing cognitive burdens.

Red Rover Health's platform enables clinicians to quickly and easily integrate best-of-breed tools into their workflows via APIs. The company's CEO, John Orosco, offers details.

Kontakt.io's new agentic AI platform creates 'digital twins' of hospital operations to track patients and equipment and provide data that can help optimize workflows. CEO Philipp von Gilsa explains.

Sara Luisa Mintrone, Dedalus' chief marketing officer, says organizations can encourage clinicians to trust AI by engaging them early, explaining how the technology works and measuring outcomes to prove the tools' value.

At the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum in Brooklyn next month, keynote speaker Tom Lawry will offer some no-nonsense perspective on the steps health systems need to take to make the most of their artificial intelligence investments.
