Medical Applications and Innovations in AI

 I attended a most informative talk about new hospital technologies that incorporate artificial intelligence. 


The principal speaker was Dr. Bryan Murphey, President of the NCH Medical group.  (NCH is Naples Comprehensive Health, the new name for Naples Community Health, the biggest hospital system in Collier County.)  

Dr. Murphey explained a dozen to 15 new AI-based devices in regular use at NCH.  He also talked about the difficulty of recovering the costs of these processes, since government funding and insurance funding don't yet have codes medical personnel can bill when using these systems.


Dr. Ronald Riner is head of a major cardiology practice that relies on many new AI-based technologies.  

Dr. Riner introduced Dr. Murphey, addressed several of the new systems, and added additional insights to complement Dr. Murphey's talk.
