Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that is concentrated on developing algorithms that analyze data and predict future events with tremendous accuracy. It is a technology that is well suited to identify hidden trends and patterns in vast amounts of data, not visible to the human eye. Jonathan Vallée, CTO of AlayaCare, an end-to-end home healthcare software solution, discusses the importance of collecting and analyzing data, provide real examples of feasible tech solutions organizations could implement today, explore the insights gained from utilizing machine learning, and present the results of two studies on applying machine learning to streams of incoming remote patient monitoring vitals for decision support.

§ The highest potential impact sector is healthcare with 37% of the provider that are expected to adopt AI within 3 years
§ Main areas of AI potential
□ Supporting diagnosis -> who should I focus on
® Use the patient’s unique history as a baseline and act on deviations
□ Pandemics
□ Imaging diagnostics
