The health system found a virtual care app for its weight management program that effectively engaged patients in their care and helped staff improve their patient experience.

From wearables to new machine learning applications, advanced technologies can help improve the inpatient experience, says Rebecca Pinn of EPAM Continuum.

Also, researchers from the National University of Singapore have piloted their AI dose optimisation platform.

The tool puts self-service scheduling in the hands of patients, helping them avoid long phone calls and enabling health system staff to manage big appointment surges.
