HIMSS25 session will show how leveraging AI improves data accuracy and operational efficiency while minimizing manual efforts.

The health cluster will work with Philips on three digital health projects over the next three years.

Budget bumps have led to better security tools, but the growing use of artificial intelligence requires more focus and investments from organizations. HIMSS25 attendees can learn more at the preconference Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum.
