Here are 3 things that stood out as Shanil Ebrahim gave us an epidemiologist’s perspective on healthcare:

  • Sometimes, implementing new technology actually adds to the burden of employees. For example, electronic medical health records and other requirements have increased the documentation burden on many practitioners.
  • Quality healthcare means providing better and more effective care in an accessible manner.
  • Technology is becoming an increasingly powerful tool for medicine. It allows precision medications, genomics, telemedicine and AI to be part of the process. Digital health as part of the delivery system has huge potential in improving patient outcomes.
