1upHealth in the News – It’s Finally Time For AI In Healthcare

This article was originally published by the Forbes Technology Council on July 26, 2022.

1upHealth founder and CTO Ricky Sahu discusses the future of AI in healthcare and the challenges it faces.

“In an effort to embrace AI, healthcare organizations must think about data first. The vast majority of AI is data engineering, governance and structure. Only a small portion of it is the actual analytics or the neural network model. Thinking data-first can be broken down into three core tenants: compute, connectivity and control. Compute is all the infrastructure that enables you to interact with data deftly—to strucure it, house it and modify it. Connectivity to external payers or providers, internal analytics or other enterprise vendors allows healthcare systems to see beyond their own walls and truly amass more information than was possible alone. Finally, control ensures an organization can secure and govern access to data that is most sensitive. Together, these set a foundation for AI in healthcare that all organizations considering the technology should prioritize.”
