The market size of artificial intelligence in healthcare was valued at $10.4 billion in 2021. As diverse applications in healthcare and life science are validated and adopted by healthcare and life science organizations, the hope is that more of these technologies will be integrated.
AI in healthcare is just one component of the content at the MedCity INVEST conference scheduled for March 28-30 at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Chicago — our first in-person event in over 2 years! The event attracts traditional and strategic investors and healthcare executives across providers, payers, big tech, medtech and startups with compelling content and networking opportunities.

Separately huge leaps were made in algorithms helping to diagnose diseases as well. What are the lessons learned about how AI can be leveraged effectively and what are the challenges that must be overcome in scaling these technologies for better outcomes.
