Bridging gaps in healthcare and research are critical in improving overall health outcomes across underserved communities. Using artificial intelligence is one tool to assist medical professionals, provide patient services, evaluate data to produce insights, and improve decision-making while improving healthcare with more accurate diagnoses and enabling more personalized treatments. Join us in–person in Montgomery, Alabama with our expert forum presenters as we discuss ways artificial intelligence benefits underserved communities.
