Dear Reader,

If you’ve been to a medical appointment recently, your doctor may have asked for your consent to use an AI scribe to take notes during your appointment, or used AI tools to help diagnose you and come up with a treatment plan. And behind lab doors, specialists are increasingly using artificial intelligence for managing lab work and analyzing medical images. The topic of AI in healthcare was even a storyline on the latest season of the hit show “The Pitt.” 

We invite you to join us for a free webinar to help you understand how AI is being used in healthcare, and what it means for the future of your care.

Our tech editor, Eric Smalley, will lead an informative discussion on this topic with a group of researchers. Together, they will cover what to ask your doctor, and what to know and what to ask if you or a loved one become a patient. They’ll also talk about how AI affects your care and your privacy, including what happens if something goes wrong.
