In today's episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Talal Ali Ahmad. He is the CEO of Predictive Healthcare, a platform that aims to bridge the gap between physicians and patients after leaving the hospital. Through this platform, physicians can monitor their patients without being overwhelmed by the amount of data entering their inbox, because Predictive Healthcare uses AI algorithms to identify which abnormal results are clinically significant. On the other hand, patients can communicate with their providers, providing them with information about their wound healing process, vital signs, daily activities, and much more. Postoperative complications pose a significant challenge to hospitals and physicians. From a public health perspective, physicians allocate their time to caring for patients with postoperative complications instead of performing more procedures on patients in need. Additionally, hospitals usually don't get reimbursed for readmissions. Join me today as we discuss the importance of Predictive Healthcare in the era of AI.
