Driven by the covid-19 pandemic, the rapid acceleration of health data collection offers the sector an unprecedented opportunity to leverage and deploy innovative digital resources, such as AI, to improve treatment.

"The intelligent use of health data has the potential to dramatically improve patient care," says Bain.

The new HR
