Stephanie Wierwille, BPD’s EVP of Strategy & Innovation, was featured in a new eHealthcare Strategy & Trends article covering the virtual AI in Healthcare Marketing Week:
The word “disruption” took on a negative connotation when people in the industry started comparing healthcare with Amazon, a company that knows a lot about its customers and serves up highly personalized, relevant, and consumer-friendly digital experiences.
Healthcare is still far from that Amazon-like experience — but can AI finally move things closer? Could disruption turn out to be a good thing after all, and not a threat?
In the last session of eHealthcare Strategy & Trends’ December virtual summit, AI in Healthcare Marketing Week, four industry thought leaders imagined an AI-enabled future.
Today, much of the focus of AI’s potential revolves around how to squeeze more productivity out of limited resources. But as Stephanie Wierwille points out, “Efficiency is not the same as transformation.”
Wierwille introduced the closing keynote, AI Innovation of the Future: The Einstein Divide, by comparing Edison’s iterative approach to innovation with Einstein’s revolutionary contributions to physics.
Here, we share highlights from our conversation with these healthcare leaders as they imagine how AI could transform the way they work, and how they communicate with and care for patients.
