Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is healthcare’s most transformative area. It’s fundamentally changing how we interact with technology—turning software into a trusted colleague or assistant and freeing each of us to achieve more. Everyone who plays a role in healthcare stands to benefit from AI, so we’ve moved quickly to embed it throughout our software—for patients, for clinicians, and for everyone in between.
