Event Details & Registration:

Data Science and AI technologies are already having a major impact on business and society — from early and accurate diagnosis of medical problems, to building cost-effective operations.

For healthcare, data has the potential to reshape the industry in the UK. Patient outcomes can be improved through the insight and intelligence that data can provide, making diagnosis faster, increasing the speed of research and delivering more efficient service planning. But what steps are being taken to apply these skills to real work problems?

Hosted in partnership with HDR UK and with guest speaker Dr Watjana Lilaonitkul, this webinar will explore how machine learning & AI is currently being used across wider healthcare, the challenges data scientists face and how they are using their skills to drive success.

This webinar will be recorded using MS Teams.
