    Strategic innovation in the healthcare industry.

    Today, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting with Prashanth Brahmandam, CTO of Backpack Healthcare, to delve into the impactful, mission-driven work they are doing in children's mental health. Hearing about their innovative efforts to expand access to mental health support was truly inspiring, as they continue to redefine what’s possible. This is a great example of harnessing AI for good and leveraging technology to extend the reach of healthcare services to underserved populations. The future of healthcare is not just on the horizon—it’s here, and it’s AI-driven. This technology is not only improving access but also creating new possibilities for care that we’ve never seen before. A heartfelt thank you to Ai4 - Artificial Intelligence Conferences for hosting such a diverse and engaging speaker series last week, and for creating invaluable opportunities to network with industry leaders. #HealthcareInnovation #AIinHealthcare #AccessToCare #FutureOfHealthcare #Ai4
