"We’ll see doctors and AI blended to provide better healthcare": Interview with Piotr Orzechowski, CEO of Infermedica
Summary
It can provide initial medical guidance which sees those who really don’t need to be visiting emergency rooms and doctors’ offices from doing so, increasing efficiencies and reducing costs across the healthcare system, while also making it more accessible to those who need it. We currently work with major B2B tech, healthcare and insurance organisations across Europe and the US including Microsoft, Médis, Allianz and Global Excel. The funding will be used to expand our presence in the US and German healthcare markets, and for R&D across our portfolio to improve symptom checking, patient triage and further support physicians making clinical decisions by interpreting lab tests. These developments are important steps as working across different regions and increasing use cases will provide access to even more data which we can use to build a detailed feedback loop, which is critical to our goal of creating an FDA-approved chatbot. The solutions will become more and more advanced and they will prove to be an important tool as they ease pressures across a wide range of processes and responsibilities; streamlined symptom checking and triaging is just one small aspect of what AI will enable.
