First in a series of digital health podcasts produced through a partnership between the International Society for Telemedicine and eHealth – ISfTeH (CH) and the scientific journal Telehealth and Medicine Today – THMT (US).
THMT editors and members of the ISfTeH had a face-paced conversation to discuss real world experiences and opinions about AI, improving patient care and operational efficiency within the healthcare sector. Among the topics of the conversation is:
- How to move beyond pilot purgatory to focus on what really matters – outcomes.
- Drawing on real-world examples from community-based healthcare
- Practical strategies for defining success, embedding remeasurement cycles, and using AI and automation to advance equity and efficiency
- How AI is reducing documentation burden and surfacing timely clinical insight to support virtual and remote care nurses
- Why co-developing with nurses is critical, and how to build safe, trusted AI tools that fit the realities of telehealth and remote clinical environments.
