Even before COVID-19 overwhelmed hospitals, many healthcare workers were feeling engulfed by their workload, never having enough time to properly focus on their patients. Automating key tasks in the patient journey could help change this, so patients receive the best possible care.

Dr. Devin Singh, a pediatric emergency physician in Toronto, Canada, as well as the founder of Hero AI, a startup dedicated to empowering patients and healthcare providers with AI, came in to chat about how he was doing just this. Devin discusses applications of AI in healthcare, navigating the institutions that compose the healthcare system, his collaborative approach to bringing people from different fields together in order to cut the red tape surrounding the implementation of a brand new solution, and the future of healthcare.
