2019: Digital Humans in Healthcare @ The Cucalorus Film Festival

I was thrilled to speak about “AI powered Digital Humans in Healthcare” at the 25th annual Cucalorus Festival which took place November 13 - 17, 2019 in Wilmington, North Carolina. Here’s a PDF of the conference program.  This is a little promo video I did for Cucalorus ahead of the conference.

Al Johnson, digital human cardiac coach patient number one and who wasn’t able to travel to Wilmington, introduced the presentation via this video from Canberra Australia.

Cardiovascular disease and health illiteracy is a deadly combination affecting many millions of people globally. Disadvantaged communities, people with disability, and women suffer disproportionately.

I spoke about what I see as a moon shot, the “humanitarian revolution” where digital humans are part of an augmented health ecosystem: helping patients and reducing staff burnout. AI digital humans overcoming the gatekeepers of literacy and privilege, through empathetic conversations and support at any time, in cardiac care and literacy for everyone.
