Getting Beyond the Telehealth's ‘Stop-Gap’ Mentality

Since COVID-19 emerged as a major health threat, virtual care has taken off.

4 Reasons Why Now Is the Time for Hospitals to Embrace AI

COVID-19 has put a tremendous burden on hospitals, and the clinicians, nurses, and medical staff who make them run.  Many hospitals have suffered financially as they did not anticipate the severity of the disease. The extended duration of patient stays in ICUs, the need for more isolated rooms and beds, and the need for better supplies to reduce infections have all added costs. Some hospitals did not have adequate staff to check-in patients, take their temperature, monitor them regularly, or
