"I think there's probably going to be about double, triple, or even quadruple the number of medical interactions if we integrate AI into the healthcare system. Also, probably a 20-30 percent lower cost—That's where the potential is. It's enough to make a big difference in the economy." Co-founder & CEO of K Health, Allon Bloch '97, recently visited Columbia Business School for a panel discussion on the "Business of AI & Healthcare" alongside Niyum Gandhi, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer at Mass General Brigham. The panel, moderated by Carri Chan, the Cain Brothers and Company Professor of Healthcare Management, covered the growing overlap between artificial intelligence and healthcare, what this transition means for medical providers, how it's expected to impact patients, and the larger economy.
