Improving Medical Procedures with Disruptive Technology
When fed enough data, a computer can become as proficient as humans at medical tasks, says Dr. Darren Schulte, CEO of Apixio.
"Already we're seeing surgeons conduct laparoscopic surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System, using the surgical bot to control tiny, precise movements of surgical instruments," says Dr. Schulte. As health care technology companies master data analytics at scale, expect to see the development of more services that rely on digital disruption.
Digital disruption is using technology to transform everything about the way businesses are run and the way they interact with customers. As the experts at Epicor Software have pointed out, digital disruption isn't so much an IT project as the future of business, and this requires widespread collaboration across all units.
As Ajay Khanna, VP of Product Marketing at Reltio, explains, the digital disruption we are witnessing today started with the emergence of social, mobile and cloud computing technologies, leading to new business and economic models with a strong focus on the customer experience. It is fueled by cloud-based modern data management technologies that help companies build a reliable data foundation for better and faster data-driven decision management and become more customer-centric by having a deep understanding of their customers.
