Will Robots Replace Healthcare Providers?
Automation has been making human workers superfluous for centuries, but until recently, workers whose jobs required high-level cognitive skills have been able to rest easy, confident no machine could possibly replace them when it came to making nuanced decisions based on the evaluation of complicated, sometimes contradictory data.

For Hospitals, Predictive Analytics Is A Necessity, Not A Luxury11/10/2017
When thinking about the business value of predictive analytics, hospitals often view it as an evolutionary technology and look for things like use cases, accuracy, cost, and return on investment.

As the computer form factor shrank from the size of a room to a laptop, computing mobility finally became a reality. For over a decade, the laptop continued to shrink while increasing in performance and lowering in price. Mobility became synonymous with portability. However, with the advent of the smart phone, mobility now transcends a single product category and has morphed into an experience. Over a short five years, mobility has become synonymous with easy, convenient, enabling, engaging, meaningful, connected, and accessible. Mobility is no longer a material thing, but rather it’s the picture of a three-year-old playing their favorite game on their tablet while at their brother’s soccer game.
