Opening Keynote: Digital Empathy: Driving Meaningful Experiences for Doctors and Patients in the Age of AI
Digital health has seen unprecedented acceleration in the adoption of new technologies, from patient monitoring and telehealth during the pandemic to recent advances in AI-driven diagnostics and medication management. These developments are already driving efficiency in some aspects of care delivery, and new advancements have tremendous potential to complement primary care in helping to improve patient outcomes. But they also raise new questions on the role of the physician, the doctor-patient relationship and the importance of empathy in patient care. In this fireside chat, MDVIP, a Primary Care for America founding partner and the largest membership-based network of primary care physicians in the U.S., will discuss how healthcare organizations can preserve the human touch in high-tech interactions to increase physician engagement and deliver on patient needs in the digital age.
