Artificial Intelligence and Technology-Enhanced Emergency Care Collaboration Centre (ATECCC)
Many patients have trouble getting health services when needed. Long waits in emergency rooms or closures in rural communities are examples. Doctors seeing patients over videoconferencing or using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help patients make health decisions are becoming popular “Digital Health” (DH) options, but are DH services really helpful and safe for patients? Will they help relieve overcrowding or increase doctors’ availability?
The AI and Technology-Enabled Care Collaboration Centre (ATECCC) is a group of researchers, government and community members, health professionals, and technology experts. ATECCC works together to discover how DH can be helpful to patients and healthcare.
