How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Is Transforming Healthcare & Pharma

US healthcare spending was $4.8 trillion in 2023 and will grow to $7.2 trillion by 2031. We don’t have a health care system; we have a sickness care system. True health care would involve catching cancer at stage zero, and preventing it from taking hold, rather than discovering it at stage three or four when a patient is symptomatic and working to reverse it. AI’s predictive capabilities are perfectly crafted to do this and could save the US up to $360 billion annually. Jim’s session will validate this research and demonstrate how specific applications can help across the system – from organizations to pharma to practitioners.


Why is this Important?

  • In North America we are living longer than ever before. Aging baby boomers in the US and Canada will be placing increased demands on the healthcare system.
  • With record government spending during the pandemic, interest payments to service the cumulative debt is consuming a large portion of the government budget. Healthcare spending will be constrained; efficiency will become increasingly important.
  • Has your family doctor read the 7,000 medical journal articles that were published today? AI necessary to achieve the best possible patient outcomes.


How an AI session in Healthcare & Pharma can help:

  • Automating Administrative Tasks
  • Enhancing Diagnostic Accuracy: Minimizes errors and unnecessary tests.
  • Predictive Analytics: Forecasts patient admissions and health outcomes.
  • Personalized Medicine: Tailoring treatments to individual genetic profiles.
  • Remote Monitoring: Enabling efficient patient monitoring outside hospitals.
  • Drug Discovery: Cutting costs and accelerating development
  • Operational Efficiency: Streamlines hospital operations for cost savings.
  • Fraud Detection: Identifies discrepancies in billing and insurance claims.
  • Clinical Trial Research: Optimizes patient selection and monitoring.
  • Health Record Analysis: Improving patient data management and accessibility.


This program is perfect for:

  • Healthcare leaders and practitioners


The audience will leave with:

  • How AI is transformative healthcare: global case studies

  • AI has driven the greatest cost reductions in human resources, significant revenue growth in marketing and sales, and over 5% revenue increases in many cases for supply chain and inventory management through optimization.
  • The total economic impact of generative AI is projected to generate between $6.1 trillion to $7.9 trillion annually thanks to enhanced productivity and efficiency.


This Program is Perfect For:

  • Association leaders and executives

Testimonials

"As if the enthusiastic response of our audience wasn't enough, the results of our post-conference survey are conclusive: you were a major hit! In fact, the response of 2,000 delegates closely paralleled my own assessment: the content was on target, the presentation superlative."

"I've been getting fantastic feedback, I was told it's the best keynote speaker that we've ever had, so I highly recommend Jim Harris for any and all conferences that you may have."

"Jim Harris did a great job! He knocked the ball out of the park talking to a crowd of 350 construction industry people here at the Ottawa Construction Association. I got a lot of great feedback that it was actionable items, something they were going to move on right away and they were going to pursue so you can't do better than what Jim did at our annual general meeting. Jim was a pleasure to work with him and his supporting team, easy to coordinate, did a great job of research in our group, researching with my board of directors. He really invested time and effort to deliver a A-Plus presentation. What Jim did for a construction crowd was bang on for the times. Everyone's questioning "What's the impact of AI in construction?" We're all on the same level of learning and Jim provided us that education and a path to go forward."
