• 31 percent attendees believe Google could be most effective in applying its analytic and AI technologies toward disease and lifestyle management.
• 61 percent of attendees believe their organizations can work harder to release their data to make machine learning and data more accessible to the public and ultimately more powerful.

“It’s inspiring and energizing to see so many professionals from across the healthcare ecosystem join hands to transform healthcare by collaborating, identifying problems, and designing solutions to drive massive change,” said Dan Burton, CEO of Health Catalyst. “This week our attendees not only discussed the unique challenges facing the industry, but more important, shared lessons learned and best practices using data and analytics that are driving clinical, financial, and operational improvements.”
