Data Analytics in Health: How health organizations connect with the people they serve

Data analytics, artificial intelligence, and algorithms are in the news, but what are they really? And how do healthcare companies use these technologies to more meaningfully connect with patients? On this episode of the Wellcast, we look at how companies like Saatchi Wellness use data analytics every day. We cover issues like working securely with sensitive health data, how data helps companies speak with more empathy, and why every organization needs a good data champion. We explore it all with help from Robin Paley and Liz Barrows from the pioneering analytics firm Epsilon, and Saatchi Wellness’ own Kevin Troyanos and Andrew Ghosh. Curious for more?
