Key Quote:
“ What I really like to challenge the listener to think about is, what's the sunny side of this story? What's the optimistic and positive ways we can use these solutions? What's the positive version of the future around quality and safety? Because these tools are enabling that.
Never have we had the ability to extrapolate against data like we do now. Never have we had the chance to do deep, meaningful research against large data sets. Never have we had a chance to spread and educate populations and accelerate innovation and learning like we do now. With the right focus and the right priorities, we can narrow that to areas that will drive meaningful change and better the lives of everyone we engage with.”
