Is it possible for artificial intelligence (AI) to make healthcare more environmentally sustainable?

In the field of radiology, AI may prove to be transformative. It has the potential to streamline processes, cut costs, and increase accuracy in imaging, diagnostics, and prevention. 

When we talk about sustainability, we often think of carbon emissions or climate change. But environmental sustainability means something much broader in healthcare: it’s about how we can preserve resources, whether cost, energy, human capital, and reduce waste and pollution, all while improving health outcomes for everyone, everywhere.

Host Vibhas Deshpande, Head of Sustainability Innovation and Research Americas at Siemens Healthineers, is joined by:

  • Kate Hanneman, MD, a cardiac radiologist at the University of Toronto
  • Charles Goh, Chief Medical Informatics Officer at Singapore General Hospital
  • Tobias Heimann, Head of the department of artificial intelligence Germany at Siemens Healthineers
