It’s when you talk to a computer-aided device – and the device talks back. The technologists call this “conversational artificial intelligence," or conversational AI.  Today, you’ll find it at the patient help desk, answering questions 24-7-365 and scheduling appointments ; in the clinical suite, transcribing conversations in multiple languages and completing charts and next-step actions; in remote patient care (their home or your care center), providing advice, reminders, and even companionship. Yes, it’s about talking – but it’s also about listening; analysis of acoustic data is now enabling early (and remote) diagnosis of physical and mental conditions such as Parkinson’s, schizophrenia, and severe stress. Join Jon Stine, Executive Director of the Open Voice Network, for this fast-paced overview of how this remarkable set of technologies is now improving patient outcomes while reducing the cost of care.
