Sharjah: Innovations such as artificial intelligence will enable health-care providers around the world to offer patients a better level of service, the CEO of the region’s leading healthcare groups, NMC Healthcare, has said at a health-care conference in London.
Speaking on a panel entitled ‘Transforming Healthcare with Technology’ at the 2017 Milken Institute London Summit, Prasanth Manghat said NMC Healthcare would continue to invest heavily in innovations to improve patient diagnosis and care.
“The health-care industry is changing rapidly and as a result health-care providers are able to offer more and more innovative services. NMC’s approach to investing in future healthcare innovations is considerable. Ultimately, it is the consumers who will benefit,” said Manghat.
Emphasising NMC Healthcare’s commitment to exploring ways in which artificial intelligence and other innovations can positively impact the health-care sector, Manghat said cutting-edge medical solutions had spurred NMC to expand its integrated health-care services across Europe and South America.
He added: “Technological innovations are leading to a new, uncharted era in the health-care industry. Advanced artificial intelligence will completely revolutionise this sector from medical research to making accurate diagnoses. Simultaneously, researchers have already discovered unique technologies that enable geneticists to edit parts of the genome, and this is only the beginning.”
The 2017 Milken Institute London Summit brought together the foremost leaders in business, government, diplomacy, technology, media, and philanthropy to discuss, confront and solve the grand challenges ahead.
