Folks, today

 

9

00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,480

AI and ML is playing

 

10

00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:13,320

an important role

 

11

00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,880

in making health care simpler

 

12

00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,760

and more effective for everyone.

 

13

00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,960

From empowering people

 

14

00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,680

with customized information,

 

15

00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,320

they need to make personal health

 

16

00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,960

choices, to providing physicians

 

17

00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,560

with insights to assist in their decision

 

18

00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,240

making and streamlining

 

19

00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,640

the administrative processes.

 

20

00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,960

AI/ML is making an impact

 

21

00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,200

across the health care system.

 

22

00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,760

As for the fourth annual Optum AI survey,

 

23

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,760

99% of the senior

 

24

00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:38,160

health care

 

25

00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:39,400

leaders agree

 

26

00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,600

that AI can be trusted

 

27

00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,920

to use in health care

 

28

00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,200

and that investing in

 

29

00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,320

AI will result in significant cost

 

30

00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,720

savings for their organizations.

 

31

00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,960

Today's webinar is all

 

32

00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,200

33

00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,080

its application

 

34

00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:52,880

in health care

 

35

00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,480

and exploring career opportunities

 

36

00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,120

that can help you impact

 

37

00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,240

75

00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,200

Now, without much ado,

 

76

00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,960

let's take the session forward.

 

77

00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,040

Over to you Jyothsna.

 

78

00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,520

Thank you Sukriti.

 

79

00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,360

Hello, everyone.

 

80

00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,360

This is Jyothsna.

 

81

00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,200

I think

 

82

00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,520

Sukriti has already introduced me enough.

 

83

00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,120

So welcome to the webinar.

 

84

00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,080

At the very onset,

 

85

00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,360

I would like to thank TechGig

 

86

00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,600

for this particular opportunity

 

87

00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,960

that they have given me

 

88

00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,200

in order to take this particular

 

89

00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,440

one forward.

 

90

00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,880

So as Sukriti has said, I'm part of Optum

 

91

00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,800

and I take care of the broker experience.

 

92

00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,160

We sell a lot of health

 

93

00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,840

plans to all of our customers

 

94

00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,480

through our brokers.

 

95

00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,280

So when we say broker experience,

 

96

00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,320

I kind of take care of the entire digital

 

97

00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,040

part of the broker experience

 

98

00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,440

where we ensure that the brokers

 

99

00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,920

are able to access our portal

 

100

00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:37,400

and our mobile applications

 

101

00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,880

they are able to look at our plans,

 

102

00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,120

they are able to compare all of

 

103

00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,160

those plans

 

104

00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,600

and then enroll for the plans

 

105

00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,720

and the renewal part of it.

 

106

00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,880

So the entire complexity of the health

 

107

00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,160

insurance is what we kind of

 

108

00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,960

take care of.

 

109

00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,440

And a quick glance

 

110

00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,240

at what we are going to cover today.

 

111

00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,520

So the first and foremost

 

112

00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,080

that we wanted

 

113

00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,440

to look

 

114

00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,080

at is artificial intelligence in itself

 

115

00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,280

is a very, very complex

 

116

00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,960

topic, as all of you know.

 

117

00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,600

And I don't think it is very easy

 

118

00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,480

for us to define

 

119

00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,640

what artificial intelligence is.

 

120

00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:07,120

But what we wanted to do was

 

121

00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:07,920

we wanted to look

 

122

00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:09,160

at artificial intelligence

 

123

00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,720

in the context of health care today.

 

124

00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,440

And we are in a world today

 

125

00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,640

where the focus is moving

 

126

00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:15,640

towards value

 

127

00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:17,040

delivery and outcome,

 

128

00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,360

and especially the COVID pandemic

 

129

00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,480

has had a very profound effect

 

130

00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,320

on all of us,

 

131

00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,240

and especially on the health care

 

132

00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,400

industry, from shifting the profit pools

 

133

00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,360

to a spike in innovation

 

134

00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,120

to creating new business models

 

135

00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,800

that are evolving in this industry.

 

136

00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,000

So what we are going to do

 

137

00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,840

is we are going to look at some of these

 

138

00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,120

shifting priorities

 

139

00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,160

or the shifting expectations.

 

140

00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,600

The next one that we are going to look at

 

141

00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,000

is the experience led approach.

 

142

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,600

Now, why is experience

 

143

00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,280

led approach

 

144

00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,600

and experience first force

 

145

00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,480

that you're going to hear

 

146

00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,040

are the latest buzzwords,

 

147

00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,320

because this is where we are going

 

148

00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,280

to keep

 

149

00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,760

the customers at the heart

 

150

00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,480

and ensure

 

151

00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,640

that we are giving precedence

 

152

00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,800

to all of our customers

 

153

00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,080

and their experiences

 

154

00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600

and making it personalized and intuitive

 

155

00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,680

to ensure

 

156

00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,040

that we are prioritizing

 

157

00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,040

that even before

 

158

00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,160

our organizational goals itself.

 

159

00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,560

So we are going to talk about

 

160

00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,320

some of the frictionless experiences

 

161

00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,520

that we can deliver to our customers.

 

162

00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,120

In this particular section,

 

163

00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,680

the next one that we are going to look at

 

164

00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,360

is some of the applications of AI

 

165

00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,720

in health care.

 

166

00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,040

Health care is so vast that

 

167

00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,880

we probably would not be able to cover

 

168

00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,360

all the applications in the end.

 

169

00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,360

But what we are essentially talking about

 

170

00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,600

in this particular

 

171

00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,400

session is some of the use cases

 

172

00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,400

where Optum has successfully used AI

 

173

00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,920

and how are we leveraging

 

174

00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,480

artificial intelligence and machine

 

175

00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:33,720

learning to solve

 

176

00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,160

some of the complex health

 

177

00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,280

care problems that we have got.

 

178

00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:37,920

The next one

 

179

00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,120

that we are going to talk about

 

180

00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,800

is scaling AI in health care.

 

181

00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,720

So what exactly do we mean?

 

182

00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,320

As I said,

 

183

00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,480

the health care ecosystem is so vast,

 

184

00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,160

it has got so many players right

 

185

00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,120

from your providers, payers and so on.

 

186

00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,160

So it becomes even more complicated.

 

187

00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,440

So in order for us

 

188

00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,480

to actually make AI meaningful

 

189

00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,080

and to have organizations adopt

 

190

00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,800

AI in a meaningful way,

 

191

00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,520

we are going to start scaling this

 

192

00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,520

AI in health care through partnerships

 

193

00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,400

and so on.

 

194

00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,520

So we are going to talk a bit

 

195

00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,440

about the partnerships part of it

 

196

00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,760

and every coin

 

197

00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,120

has got two different sides

 

198

00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,120

and each one has got every high

 

199

00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,800

as its own challenges.

 

200

00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,400

So we will

 

201

00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,640

briefly touch base upon the challenges

 

202

00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,120

on that particular part of it.

 

203

00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,760

The last but not least,

 

204

00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,240

the main conversation for today

 

205

00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,160

is the opportunities and career.

 

206

00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,200

We are going to double down

 

207

00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,360

our efforts on

 

208

00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,240

what it means to make an AI

 

209

00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,160

career in the health care space.

 

210

00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,480

With that, let's start deep diving.

 

211

00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880

So I wanted to start off

 

212

00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,400

introducing UnitedHealth Group itself.

 

213

00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,440

UHG as UnitedHealth Group

 

214

00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,360

is famously referred

 

215

00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,640

to as a Fortune 5 company today

 

216

00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,120

and as a health care

 

217

00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,440

and well-being organization

 

218

00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,400

with a mission to help people

 

219

00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,200

live healthier

 

220

00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,600

lives and help

 

221

00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,640

make the health systems work

 

222

00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,360

better for everyone.

 

223

00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680

We are about 340,000

 

224

00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,520

colleagues that we are talking

 

225

00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,120

about in two distinct

 

226

00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,400

and complementary businesses

 

227

00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,720

where we are working together

 

228

00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,480

to build a modern, high

 

229

00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,680

performing health care system

 

230

00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,120

through improved access,

 

231

00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,320

affordability outcomes and experiences.

 

232

00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:15,480

Again, at UnitedHealth Group

 

233

00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,360

our mission calls us,

 

234

00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,080

our values guide us,

 

235

00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,360

and that diverse culture

 

236

00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,600

connects us as we seek to improve

 

237

00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,560

areas for the consumers

 

238

00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,160

we are privileged to serve

 

239

00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,880

and their communities itself.

 

240

00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,960

With that understanding of Optum,

 

241

00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,080

let's probably start talking about

 

242

00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,160

how is Optum

 

243

00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:35,600

powering

 

244

00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,520

some of these intelligences, right?

 

245

00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,040

So if you look at that,

 

246

00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,160

we are talking about

 

247

00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,160

we cater to

 

248

00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,040

or we have data

 

249

00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,640

close to about 240 million

 

250

00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,920

lives of clinical

 

251

00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,840

and claim data,

 

252

00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:49,680

which we leverage for our innovation

 

253

00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,800

and research today. We also

 

254

00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,560

have got $3.5 billion

 

255

00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,480

investment in innovation and technology

 

256

00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,840

every year.

 

257

00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:02,600

We are also talking about catering to

 

258

00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,360

the top 20 of the 25 US

 

259

00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,520

health plan, leveraging the Optum

 

260

00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:09,960

Analytics today.

 

261

00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,560

We have about 25 plus research partners

 

262

00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,640

for collaboratively researching

 

263

00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,560

and innovating at our Optum Labs.

 

264

00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,320

We also have

 

265

00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,360

something called as Optum AI Labs,

 

266

00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,720

which is kind of dedicated

 

267

00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,720

to ensure that we are solving

 

268

00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,080

some of the complex health

 

269

00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,440

care problems in this particular area.

 

270

00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,360

Now, as you are aware,

 

271

00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,360

the health care data actually

 

272

00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,320

exists in multiple systems, right?

 

273

00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,720

So one of the challenges that we face

 

274

00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,640

is also the data being siloed.

 

275

00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,800

So that's where the first and foremost

 

276

00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,720

that we have is curated data.

 

277

00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,080

What do we mean by that?

 

278

00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,200

We have built a common language

 

279

00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,960

where we have standardized

 

280

00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,760

and made it easy to link and integrate

 

281

00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,560

the data from multiple disparate systems.

 

282

00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,560

With all this information

 

283

00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,080

the next thing that we kind of do

 

284

00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,440

is apply our expertise over here.

 

285

00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,960

We guide for our action for success,

 

286

00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,720

we collaborate for the right

 

287

00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,760

action, applying

 

288

00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,120

predictive analytics,

 

289

00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,400

insights and expertise.

 

290

00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,160

Then we move

 

291

00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,160

into innovating with a purpose.

 

292

00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,400

So what do we do over here?

 

293

00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,160

We transform the data

 

294

00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:11,880

into insights

 

295

00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,720

with industry

 

296

00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,160

leading dynamic models

 

297

00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,880

and innovation in AI itself.

 

298

00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,760

Moving on so we are also working

 

299

00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,120

as an organization today

 

300

00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,120

with governments,

 

301

00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,800

employers, partners, providers

 

302

00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:26,760

to provide

 

303

00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,760

care for more than 140 million people

 

304

00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,240

and we share our vision

 

305

00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,360

for value based system of care

 

306

00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,480

that provides

 

307

00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,560

compassionate and also equitable care.

 

308

00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,200

So let's break down

 

309

00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,080

the four aims that we got right.

 

310

00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,440

As you can see on the screen,

 

311

00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,760

you've got an enhanced

 

312

00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,160

patient experience,

 

313

00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,960

you've got a lower cost of care,

 

314

00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,080

you've got a better health outcomes.

 

315

00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,560

And we are also talking about improved

 

316

00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,800

clinician well-being itself.

 

317

00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,640

So when we say enhanced

 

318

00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,280

patient experiences,

 

319

00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,840

what are we essentially referring to?

 

320

00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,800

We want to expand our access

 

321

00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,640

to all of our services

 

322

00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,440

and whether members are able

 

323

00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,480

to receive care.

 

324

00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,600

Some of the examples

 

325

00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,720

that we are talking about

 

326

00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,960

are virtual care, home health and so on.

 

327

00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,520

Now when we talk about

 

328

00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,080

frictionless experiences,

 

329

00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,760

which is what

 

330

00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,280

I have been talking about,

 

331

00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:18,960

we are committed

 

332

00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,640

to understanding our customers

 

333

00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,080

and delivering solutions

 

334

00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,680

that would gather to their needs

 

335

00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,280

with intuitiveness

 

336

00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,480

and also minimal friction.

 

337

00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,000

Now what do I mean by that?

 

338

00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:29,560

So where you're

 

339

00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:31,160

kind of improving the first call

 

340

00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,160

resolutions, you're

 

341

00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,240

taking care of their digital adoption,

 

342

00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,840

you are also trying

 

343

00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,240

to proactively provision

 

344

00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,560

the information for the required members

 

345

00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:40,960

and so on.

 

346

00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,680

We will come back to this one

 

347

00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:43,360

in a bit

 

348

00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,320

where we talk about

 

349

00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,760

some of these various examples itself.

 

350

00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,760

Now the next thing

 

351

00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,760

that we are essentially

 

352

00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,720

talking about

 

353

00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,080

is the better health outcomes also.

 

354

00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:54,560

Now here, what are we talking about?

 

355

00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:55,360

We are reducing

 

356

00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,560

administrative burden rate

 

357

00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:57,960

where we are

 

358

00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,160

kind of focusing on the care itself.

 

359

00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,240

You must have heard a lot today

 

360

00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:03,960

about physicians’ burnout

 

361

00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,400

or nurses’ burnout,

 

362

00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,600

where the health workers

 

363

00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:07,840

are actually complaining

 

364

00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,400

about burnout itself,

 

365

00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,160

especially the pandemic part of it.

 

366

00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:11,400

Right.

 

367

00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,760

They have been on their toes.

 

368

00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,520

They have been providing all the care

 

369

00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,960

that is required.

 

370

00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,720

Now, add to this entire care

 

371

00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,760

that they're providing,

 

372

00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,440

you can also

 

373

00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,000

imagine the administrative complexities

 

374

00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,280

that are sitting in.

 

375

00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:23,920

For example,

 

376

00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,960

you just know this kind of

 

377

00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,880

a documentation process that you'll get

 

378

00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,320

when you actually admit a patient in

 

379

00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,440

a hospital itself.

 

380

00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,000

That itself is very daunting

 

381

00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,720

in a lot of instances.

 

382

00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,720

Then you are also talking about

 

383

00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,440

the process

 

384

00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,920

related, like scheduling of

 

385

00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:38,760

the appointments,

 

386

00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,680

you are talking about patient

 

387

00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:41,720

communication as to

 

388

00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,160

how do you ensure that be it for vaccines

 

389

00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,560

or be it

 

390

00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:45,840

for any kind of

 

391

00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,080

medications and everything

 

392

00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:47,520

where you're

 

393

00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,480

asking for the people

 

394

00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,040

to come in,

 

395

00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,520

the entire communication part of it.

 

396

00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,920

Billing the patient, you know,

 

397

00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,160

sometimes it actually gets into

 

398

00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,560

a very emotional conversation

 

399

00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:57,480

the patient billing

 

400

00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,080

and the payments

 

401

00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,640

and everything get into a

 

402

00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,920

lot of instances, emotional conversation.

 

403

00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,120

How do you ensure

 

404

00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,000

all of these

 

405

00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,400

administrative tasks

 

406

00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,040

are actually automated to a large extent

 

407

00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,600

so that there's a seamless experience

 

408

00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,440

for all of our customers?

 

409

00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,040

The next one that we are talking about

 

410

00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,120

is also,

 

411

00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:15,360

you know,

 

412

00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,320

how do you reduce

 

413

00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,400

hospital admissions

 

414

00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,840

through proactive management

 

415

00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,000

of lifestyle conditions itself.

 

416

00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,560

Today

 

417

00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:23,840

we have a flagship product within UHG,

 

418

00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,000

which is called, as UHC Rewards.

 

419

00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,080

Now what do we do with UHC Rewards?

 

420

00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,560

We encourage all of our members to have

 

421

00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,320

or lead

 

422

00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:34,320

a healthy life.

 

423

00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,840

How do we go about doing it?

 

424

00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,920

We reward them by a dollar

 

425

00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,640

for every 10,000 steps

 

426

00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,200

that they take on a daily basis,

 

427

00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,360

for every one hour

 

428

00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,640

of constant activity that you've bought.

 

429

00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,000

So what we've identified

 

430

00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,080

as the more active you stay in your life,

 

431

00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,920

the more healthier you are.

 

432

00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,000

So we are identifying

 

433

00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,120

all of these touchpoints to ensure

 

434

00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,080

that we are kind of ensuring

 

435

00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,480

that you have a better health

 

436

00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,560

outcome for all of our customers.

 

437

00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:00,280

And then we are also talking about

 

438

00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,880

how do you provide the technology

 

439

00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,720

to select the right treatment

 

440

00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,280

through the right provider?

 

441

00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,000

We are also investing in areas

 

442

00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,160

that influence the members health itself.

 

443

00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,880

Now let's talk about include clinical

 

444

00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,680

well-being itself, right?

 

445

00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,080

So we are essentially talking about

 

446

00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,280

providing the tools

 

447

00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,160

and the information

 

448

00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,440

to prevent the burnout,

 

449

00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,720

which I was referring to a bit earlier.

 

450

00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,760

And we're also talking

 

451

00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,000

about diagnose decision

 

452

00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,200

augmentation

 

453

00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,400

through visual information

 

454

00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,640

standardization.

 

455

00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,280

So as you can see

 

456

00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,080

AI is part of our culture,

 

457

00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,240

and that's what we will continue to do it

 

458

00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,280

and we see that we are able to solve

 

459

00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,160

a lot of our health care problems

 

460

00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,880

and that.

 

461

00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,520

Now let's look at the next part of it.

 

462

00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:41,760

Right?

 

463

00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,440

So where do we get all of this

 

464

00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,280

data that we are talking about?

 

465

00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,240

If you look at some of the industry

 

466

00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,160

standard data,

 

467

00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,760

you are able to see that by 2025,

 

468

00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,600

the health care data is expected to grow

 

469

00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,880

by about 36% per year.

 

470

00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,520

Where is all this information coming in?

 

471

00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,400

I've mentioned some of the names here,

 

472

00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,640

medical imaging, patient

 

473

00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,000

monitoring, home monitoring,

 

474

00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,920

pathology, genomics,

 

475

00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:03,840

not just that

 

476

00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:04,880

you have a lot more data

 

477

00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,840

that you are talking about, right?

 

478

00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,040

The data is the new fuel

 

479

00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,480

that we are talking about.

 

480

00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,800

You get your provider data,

 

481

00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,000

which is the demographic information

 

482

00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,160

or the provider attestation and so on.

 

483

00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,400

Then you also have a lot of call center

 

484

00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,360

data that you get where,

 

485

00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,760

you know, people are calling,

 

486

00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,360

we have a call center workforce,

 

487

00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,680

we do a lot of service today.

 

488

00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:24,160

Then you have the claims data,

 

489

00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:24,960

you know,

 

490

00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,080

the entire claims

 

491

00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,040

operations itself

 

492

00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,440

for what has been a claim raised

 

493

00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,960

what was the rejected information

 

494

00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,480

and a lot of other things.

 

495

00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,680

Then you have the clinical,

 

496

00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:34,440

which is the prior

 

497

00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,240

authorization

 

498

00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,480

that we are talking about, your

 

499

00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,760

ER visits, your lab visit,

 

500

00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,320

the quality

 

501

00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,160

reporting, the whole entire

 

502

00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,600

gamut of things.

 

503

00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,840

Then you also have your agents,

 

504

00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,680

brokers, supervisors,

 

505

00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:48,480

managers, the entire workforce

 

506

00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,560

that works on this particular

 

507

00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:51,480

part of it is also something

 

508

00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,680

that we are talking about.

 

509

00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,640

Then we have the pharmacy data.

 

510

00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,000

How much of bills have you ordered

 

511

00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000

and how frequently are you offering

 

512

00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,240

this particular information?

 

513

00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,320

So you get all of that information.

 

514

00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,520

Now you're talking about member data.

 

515

00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,200

It's not limited

 

516

00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,480

to just the member information,

 

517

00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,040

but also the,

 

518

00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,320

you know, the kind of issues,

 

519

00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,120

technical issues that you've got.

 

520

00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,120

What are the benefits,

 

521

00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,720

what are the plans,

 

522

00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,120

the policies and so on.

 

523

00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,640

Then you have appeals data,

 

524

00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,320

reconsiderations, appeals decisions

 

525

00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,960

and more importantly,

 

526

00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,520

what are the overpayments that

 

527

00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,320

we have got, what are the

 

528

00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:26,920

declines that we've got and

 

529

00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,680

what are the payments that we've done?

 

530

00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,120

There's a whole lot of data

 

531

00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,840

that you're actually talking about here.

 

532

00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,960

Now, this is where the complexity

 

533

00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:34,600

of the health care

 

534

00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,320

kind of comes in, it's so much of data.

 

535

00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,000

How are you actually going?

 

536

00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,720

And also

 

537

00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,440

all of this is what quality issues

 

538

00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,880

if you actually look at it.

 

539

00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,280

So our major challenge

 

540

00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,360

when we are talking about AI and ML is

 

541

00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,560

how are you going to actually

 

542

00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,080

derive insights or meaningful insights

 

543

00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,840

that would assist the health care

 

544

00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,120

professionals and patients

 

545

00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,200

in making sense of all of this data,

 

546

00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,480

given the inherent data

 

547

00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,440

quality issues

 

548

00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,120

and also the data complexities

 

549

00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,600

that we have got.

 

550

00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,280

So we need to have solutions

 

551

00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,200

that can assist

 

552

00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,240

all of our health care professionals

 

553

00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,240

in order to make sense

 

554

00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:09,960

of this particular data.

 

555

00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,160

Now let's look at some of the

 

556

00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,400

shifting expectations, right?

 

557

00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,920

We talked about pandemic.

 

558

00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:15,720

We talked about,

 

559

00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,040

you know, given the pressure

 

560

00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:17,640

that was there

 

561

00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,240

on the health care

 

562

00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840

professionals, there was a sudden need

 

563

00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,000

for all of us

 

564

00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,680

to ensure

 

565

00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,160

that the expectations

 

566

00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,960

have kind of shifted, right?

 

567

00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,400

There's a value addition

 

568

00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,400

that people were kind of looking at.

 

569

00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,440

The marketplace also started

 

570

00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,200

addressing the full patient's

 

571

00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,560

full journey itself,

 

572

00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,920

leading to more improved affordability,

 

573

00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,080

quality, access and experience.

 

574

00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,320

So, you know,

 

575

00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:43,800

what are some of the questions

 

576

00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,000

that we are talking about?

 

577

00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,280

If you look at the health care

 

578

00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,640

industry itself,

 

579

00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:48,600

all the doctors

 

580

00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,120

or the health care workers

 

581

00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,680

want to ask these kind of

 

582

00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,920

questions, right?

 

583

00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,000

How can we find signs of diseases

 

584

00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,880

like cancer and heart diseases sooner.

 

585

00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,960

By detecting all of these issues,

 

586

00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,880

you have a probability

 

587

00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,720

where you can probably go

 

588

00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:05,560

and pre-empt

 

589

00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,200

some of these diseases itself.

 

590

00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,080

It could be through lifestyle changes,

 

591

00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,200

it could be through the wellness programs

 

592

00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,800

or a lot of things

 

593

00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,720

that we can actually do with that.

 

594

00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,360

Then we are also talking about

 

595

00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:17,400

how do you ensure

 

596

00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,720

that you have your diagnosis made right

 

597

00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,400

the first time itself?

 

598

00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,080

You must have heard a lot of times

 

599

00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,560

that you actually get a fever,

 

600

00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,360

you go to the doctor

 

601

00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,880

and the doctor only treats you

 

602

00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,360

for that particular fever.

 

603

00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,320

Then you go back home

 

604

00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,200

and then you get cold

 

605

00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:30,960

and then you come back

 

606

00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,400

to the hospital again

 

607

00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,720

because you have a cold now,

 

608

00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,320

and then he treats for the cold.

 

609

00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,880

Now what happens is

 

610

00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,720

you're being very tactical in providing

 

611

00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,840

all of these health solutions itself.

 

612

00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,360

You're treating for a fever,

 

613

00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:44,760

you're treating for a cold.

 

614

00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:45,680

You're not addressing

 

615

00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,720

the actual fundamental issue

 

616

00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,720

that is probably there in that one.

 

617

00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,400

What is causing this one?

 

618

00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,480

Is it a lung issue that is causing him

 

619

00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,840

or is it something else

 

620

00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,000

that is wrong within the body

 

621

00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,880

that is causing all of these issues?

 

622

00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,040

I think

 

623

00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,120

where we can use

 

624

00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,960

AI/ML very, very well or,

 

625

00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,240

you know,

 

626

00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,480

where the health workers are

 

627

00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,440

kind of trying to understand is

 

628

00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,560

how can I actually get

 

629

00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,120

the acute diagnosis right the first time?

 

630

00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,280

How can I treat the root cause problem,

 

631

00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,520

not the peripheral issues

 

632

00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,000

of a cold or a cough,

 

633

00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,680

but how I'm actually able to solve

 

634

00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,400

that particular problem is

 

635

00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,960

I think, one of the questions

 

636

00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,280

that all the health workers

 

637

00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,680

are looking at.

 

638

00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,800

Now, we are talking about, you know,

 

639

00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,280

the hospital operations are very,

 

640

00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,200

very costly affair.

 

641

00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,640

You have got a lot of nurses,

 

642

00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,520

you have got

 

643

00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,480

you've got people

 

644

00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,760

who actually ensure

 

645

00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:30,800

that there is cleanliness

 

646

00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,200

in your particular hospital,

 

647

00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,240

you have got the doctors,

 

648

00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,080

you have multiple shifts

 

649

00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,000

because hospital is not something

 

650

00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,440

that shuts down,

 

651

00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,320

emergency can come

 

652

00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,440

any given point of time.

 

653

00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,480

And then you have your emergency care

 

654

00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,120

and then you have

 

655

00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:44,400

got your ambulatory care.

 

656

00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,200

And there are so many things

 

657

00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:46,920

that a hospital

 

658

00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,240

actually has to take care of.

 

659

00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,560

How do you actually ensure

 

660

00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,680

that you are providing a better care

 

661

00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:53,760

at a cheaper price?

 

662

00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,320

That is one of the questions

 

663

00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,400

that people are looking at.

 

664

00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,280

We've talked

 

665

00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,880

about a lot on affordability,

 

666

00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:00,680

What are we talking about

 

667

00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:00,960

on affordability?

 

668

00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,400

Affordability

 

669

00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,440

is not making something cheap,

 

670

00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,480

but ensuring that

 

671

00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,640

the quality of the care is not reducing,

 

672

00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,400

but you are just

 

673

00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,040

making it much more cost efficient for

 

674

00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,480

the health workers

 

675

00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,880

or for the hospital owners.

 

676

00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,560

Then we talk a lot about the staff

 

677

00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,920

burnout itself.

 

678

00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,000

Now how can we prevent

 

679

00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,400

some of the staff burnout

 

680

00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,760

and how can we make sure

 

681

00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,680

that they put their time to the best use,

 

682

00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,320

which is like, for example,

 

683

00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:28,400

a lot of instances

 

684

00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,560

you must have heard that

 

685

00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,000

the doctor says I don't want to use

 

686

00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,160

this medical transcription thing at all.

 

687

00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,840

I don't want to use this portal

 

688

00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,560

where I want to go

 

689

00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,200

and input the data part of it

 

690

00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,600

because he feels

 

691

00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,800

he should be using the entire time,

 

692

00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,600

spending time with the patient,

 

693

00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,880

understanding what his problem is

 

694

00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,280

and trying to address

 

695

00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,680

that particular problem

 

696

00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,080

rather than spending the time

 

697

00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,760

on the technology where he is

 

698

00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,480

making notes.

 

699

00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:52,080

And then, you know,

 

700

00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,720

he is looking at the HL7 codes

 

701

00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,800

that he has to probably use over here

 

702

00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,840

or IC codes that he has to use.

 

703

00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:58,760

He just doesn't want

 

704

00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,120

that does not what his primary forte is,

 

705

00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,600

his primary forte is

 

706

00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,600

how does he ensure

 

707

00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,040

he is giving a better care?

 

708

00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,880

So that is where we are talking about

 

709

00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,040

how do you prevent the staff burnout

 

710

00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:10,040

and ensure

 

711

00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,360

we take his focus away

 

712

00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:13,320

from his secondary activities

 

713

00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,800

and ensure that you're

 

714

00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,600

putting their time

 

715

00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,640

on the primary focus,

 

716

00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,440

which is delivering

 

717

00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,440

that particular care itself.

 

718

00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,280

Now, a couple of other things

 

719

00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:21,840

that has come

 

720

00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,280

is with all this work from home

 

721

00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:23,760

and everything,

 

722

00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,680

one of the shifts that we have seen

 

723

00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,360

is where the patients are also looking

 

724

00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:29,200

for more convenient options,

 

725

00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,080

where they want to actually

 

726

00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,240

handle their own care from home.

 

727

00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,320

They want to ensure

 

728

00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,880

one of the well-being tips

 

729

00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,120

that they have to handle.

 

730

00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:38,960

They want to actually know

 

731

00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,080

what are the do's and don'ts.

 

732

00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,160

So what are the kind of foods

 

733

00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,400

that have to be avoided?

 

734

00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,360

What are the superfoods

 

735

00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:44,840

that they have to go after?

 

736

00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,160

So there are a lot of things

 

737

00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,000

that we are actually talking about.

 

738

00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,160

Now at Optum,

 

739

00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,840

what is the context over here?

 

740

00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,280

So, we have Optum Labs,

 

741

00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,160

as I was talking about an Optum

 

742

00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,240

AI Labs

 

743

00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,520

where we are trying to answer

 

744

00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,240

some of these particular questions.

 

745

00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,600

These could be through your image

 

746

00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,160

analytics, your video

 

747

00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,200

analytics, your text analytics,

 

748

00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,360

or any other

 

749

00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:06,600

AI methodology

 

750

00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,520

that you can use over here.

 

751

00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,520

And one of the things

 

752

00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,200

which I'm very,

 

753

00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,480

very proud of

 

754

00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,280

is recently

 

755

00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,160

we have concluded the ‘Tech Tank’,

 

756

00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,920

which is modeled after the Shark Tank

 

757

00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,920

and where what we had done over there is,

 

758

00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,600

we have different business units

 

759

00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,240

and the number of CXOs

 

760

00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,400

we have brought in

 

761

00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,360

our organizations are amazing

 

762

00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:27,800

and all of these guys

 

763

00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,040

have actually become

 

764

00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,280

the judges for the ‘Tech

 

765

00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,640

Tank’ for the very first time.

 

766

00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,920

We sat through all of this particular

 

767

00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,440

one day

 

768

00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,320

program, really heard

 

769

00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:37,800

some of the solutions

 

770

00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,880

and how technology can be an enabler

 

771

00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,000

to solve some of the complicated health

 

772

00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:42,800

care problems.

 

773

00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,640

They discussed on all of these,

 

774

00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,840

some of the best ideas have been chosen

 

775

00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,040

and they are funded right now

 

776

00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,400

and they are being sponsored

 

777

00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:50,880

for us

 

778

00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,760

to actually take it to the next level.

 

779

00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,280

So again and again,

 

780

00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,440

I would like to reiterate

 

781

00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,720

for the fact that I'm so proud

 

782

00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,160

the way that we are doubling down

 

783

00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,240

all of our efforts

 

784

00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,560

on ensuring that we use technology

 

785

00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,040

as an enabler

 

786

00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,480

to solve the larger problems

 

787

00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,240

at hand that we have got.

 

788

00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:08,760

All right.

 

789

00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,280

So let's move on to the next one,

 

790

00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,000

which is the experience led

 

791

00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,200

that we are talking about.

 

792

00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:13,680

As I said,

 

793

00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,240

this is one of the biggest buzz words

 

794

00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,080

that you would see,

 

795

00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,640

this called the design led,

 

796

00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,160

or it is called as the experience led.

 

797

00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,680

There's a lot of words and a lot of

 

798

00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:25,560

terminology and buzzwords

 

799

00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,000

that go on around this.

 

800

00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,440

So, let's take

 

801

00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,640

some of the examples, right,

 

802

00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,080

and talk

 

803

00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,800

about what exactly do we mean

 

804

00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,240

by experience led.

 

805

00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,920

What are the business

 

806

00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,520

benefits of actually

 

807

00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,320

going through this experience led?

 

808

00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,160

So, before I go into this,

 

809

00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,200

recently our leaders came down from U.S.

 

810

00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,120

and this last week

 

811

00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,960

our leaders were over here.

 

812

00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,520

So my leader, my boss,

 

813

00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,320

his name is Chris Hanson.

 

814

00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,480

What he wanted to do was

 

815

00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,720

he wanted to demonstrate

 

816

00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,160

what was the

 

817

00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,240

example of our experience led,

 

818

00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,080

how can we increase collaboration

 

819

00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,600

and how can we bring closer

 

820

00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,320

to our own customers?

 

821

00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,320

In this activity,

 

822

00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,160

what he has done is

 

823

00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,000

he has conducted

 

824

00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,120

something called as an experience

 

825

00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:06,360

led workshop,

 

826

00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:07,960

and he's used these Lego blocks.

 

827

00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,160

I'm sure all of you are familiar

 

828

00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,080

with what Lego blocks are.

 

829

00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,280

So, he has used all of those Lego blocks

 

830

00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,640

to derive,

 

831

00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,080

you know,

 

832

00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,720

how you can actually achieve

 

833

00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,400

your results

 

834

00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,480

in a much more methodical way

 

835

00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,480

and being very customer obsessed.

 

836

00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,440

And that's something that I really came

 

837

00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,320

out of that workshop last week

 

838

00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:25,680

and I'm

 

839

00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,600

so sold into this entire experience

 

840

00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:28,920

led itself.

 

841

00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,120

But let's look at it

 

842

00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:31,600

from a business perspective, right?

 

843

00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:32,880

So, what does it do?

 

844

00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,240

It augments all of your experience

 

845

00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,800

and expertise itself.

 

846

00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,480

So let's look at some of the clinical

 

847

00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,560

use cases of

 

848

00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,040

AI which support

 

849

00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,760

image segmentation

 

850

00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,200

as I was talking about in the radiology,

 

851

00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,120

that would help identify

 

852

00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:47,440

early signs of patient

 

853

00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,960

deterioration in acute

 

854

00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,760

and post-acute care.

 

855

00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:51,880

Now what does this help?

 

856

00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,640

How does AI help over here

 

857

00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:54,880

or experience led help?

 

858

00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:55,640

You're essentially

 

859

00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,480

helping the health care

 

860

00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,200

providers perform for their best

 

861

00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,240

for the patient care, right.

 

862

00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,920

So that is the experience,

 

863

00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,920

the patient is happy

 

864

00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,760

because he's getting the right treatment

 

865

00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,800

on time

 

866

00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,600

with the required information,

 

867

00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,840

with all the side effects

 

868

00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,400

and everything

 

869

00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,520

that would actually tell him.

 

870

00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,000

So you're kind of augmenting

 

871

00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,320

the expertise.

 

872

00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,160

Health care

 

873

00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,920

professionals are one of the best

 

874

00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:16,920

in the world that we have got.

 

875

00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,800

We are not replacing them,

 

876

00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:19,760

but we are augmenting

 

877

00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,240

their expertise itself.

 

878

00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,760

The second one that we are talking about

 

879

00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,720

is operational efficiency.

 

880

00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,280

Now, AI can actually help

 

881

00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,680

streamline operations

 

882

00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,760

within and across the departments,

 

883

00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,320

so every department has to work

 

884

00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,160

seamlessly, right?

 

885

00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,360

So for example, I'm sure a lot of you

 

886

00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,600

probably might have visited hospital

 

887

00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,680

sometime in your life

 

888

00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,600

and imagine the checkout process.

 

889

00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,040

The doctor says that, you know,

 

890

00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:41,840

this particular patient

 

891

00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,880

can be discharged,

 

892

00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,240

but the sheer amount of the documentation

 

893

00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:45,760

that is there

 

894

00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,640

and for you to get your cashless

 

895

00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,560

and your entire insurance

 

896

00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:50,640

figured out before

 

897

00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,880

this particular patient is discharged,

 

898

00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,360

if you started 10 o’clock,

 

899

00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:55,520

it completes

 

900

00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,280

at 4 o’clock atleast in India

 

901

00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,600

that we are talking about,

 

902

00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,600

that is because you have got

 

903

00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,600

so many departments

 

904

00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,200

that are working separately.

 

905

00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,320

All these departments

 

906

00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,720

have to come together

 

907

00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:04,800

to be able to deliver

 

908

00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,240

that optimal patient care

 

909

00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,840

while they're also reducing

 

910

00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,640

costs and inefficiencies.

 

911

00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,880

And, they're also avoiding fraud.

 

912

00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:15,240

Because why is it that there is so much

 

913

00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,360

of scrutiny in terms of your data

 

914

00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:19,200

and documentation.

 

915

00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,600

It is primary

 

916

00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,840

because fraud is very easy

 

917

00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,880

to happen in these kind of places.

 

918

00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:24,960

So this is another one

 

919

00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,240

that we're talking about.

 

920

00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,120

And then we're talking

 

921

00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,360

about empowering people.

 

922

00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:30,520

Now empowering people

 

923

00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,280

to take care of their

 

924

00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,480

health and well-being.

 

925

00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,600

We are also using AI to help

 

926

00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,440

transform the health systems

 

927

00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,560

by preventing people

 

928

00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,880

from developing diseases

 

929

00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:39,880

in the first place itself.

 

930

00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,120

So we are kind of coming up

 

931

00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:42,600

with wellness programs

 

932

00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,440

that we are offering

 

933

00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,480

to all of our employers and employees

 

934

00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,400

to ensure that we are

 

935

00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,760

promoting healthier habits

 

936

00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:49,680

and we are also having

 

937

00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,840

an increased patient engagement itself.

 

938

00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,400

So that's on the experience

 

939

00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,600

led part of it.

 

940

00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,600

So we talked about so many,

 

941

00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,840

you know, theory,

 

942

00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,680

let us look at some of the use cases

 

943

00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,200

that we are referring to.

 

944

00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,880

If you look at the skin lesion

 

945

00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,160

itself, dermatologists are using

 

946

00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:06,880

the kind of, you know,

 

947

00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,000

they want to pick out the cancerous ones.

 

948

00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,320

They want to identify

 

949

00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,880

whether this particular imaging

 

950

00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,040

has got the cancerous ones or not.

 

951

00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,680

This is where AI can actually augment it.

 

952

00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,960

Once you train your algorithms,

 

953

00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:22,400

they would be able to identify the cancer

 

954

00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:22,920

part of it

 

955

00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,200

and thus leading to

 

956

00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,400

an early detection of skin cancer.

 

957

00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,120

So that if you look at the left down one,

 

958

00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:31,560

you have got lung cancer.

 

959

00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,360

That is also something very similar

 

960

00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:34,200

to the skin lesion

 

961

00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:35,560

that we are talking about,

 

962

00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,840

where your CT scans are

 

963

00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,200

used for the detection of the

 

964

00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,240

pulmonary nodules itself.

 

965

00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,240

Then you've got sinusitis.

 

966

00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,120

I know a lot of us

 

967

00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:46,720

probably have got the sinusitis

 

968

00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,480

and the operation is a very minimal

 

969

00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,960

one that we are talking about.

 

970

00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,200

But the precision that it requires

 

971

00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,080

to identify

 

972

00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,160

what is the amount of inflammation

 

973

00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,480

that is there in the sinus membranes

 

974

00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,480

can be visualized through the scans

 

975

00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,640

and that is an input

 

976

00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,400

that would

 

977

00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,880

help doctors

 

978

00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,120

in the precision medicine itself.

 

979

00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:05,800

Then we are talking

 

980

00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:06,960

about the spine surgery

 

981

00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,040

and you've got your MRIs, which I use

 

982

00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,160

for diagnosis of spinal stenosis

 

983

00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,320

to aid the diagnosis

 

984

00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,640

and the care coordination.

 

985

00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,880

Now look at the knee surgery

 

986

00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:17,960

and the chest X-ray

 

987

00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,360

that we are talking about,

 

988

00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:20,880

where the speed of approvals

 

989

00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,440

and facilitating the treatment

 

990

00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:23,280

becomes easy

 

991

00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:24,080

because you have got

 

992

00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,040

the required medical imaging

 

993

00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,640

that would augment your decision

 

994

00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,920

support system itself.

 

995

00:26:30,120 --> 00:26:30,760

Right?

 

996

00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,920

So then let's look at

 

997

00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,920

the administrative workflow.

 

998

00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,200

The only callout that

 

999

00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,120

I've got because, you know,

 

1000

00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:38,040

we kind of spoke a lot about this.

 

1001

00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,600

We talked about, you know,

 

1002

00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,400

how we can automate a lot of these

 

1003

00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,520

things like,

 

1004

00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,560

you know, voice-to-text transcriptions.

 

1005

00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,840

You can also assist in

 

1006

00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,200

automating the non-patient

 

1007

00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,320

care task like, you know,

 

1008

00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,520

requesting tests recommending drugs.

 

1009

00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,720

You are also creating various charts.

 

1010

00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,000

But what I wanted to call out is

 

1011

00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:57,800

could you imagine

 

1012

00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,160

that the administrative

 

1013

00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,840

workflow automation

 

1014

00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:01,800

that we are talking about

 

1015

00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,000

could potentially lead to

 

1016

00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,840

about $18 billion savings

 

1017

00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,560

that we are talking about annually?

 

1018

00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,920

And that's a lot of money

 

1019

00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,480

that we are essentially talking about,

 

1020

00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,840

which can then be channelized

 

1021

00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,920

into the research part of it,

 

1022

00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,320

especially in the health care it itself.

 

1023

00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,040

Right.

 

1024

00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,840

So I've got the next few minutes.

 

1025

00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,160

We going to spend some time

 

1026

00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,200

on the case studies. Right.

 

1027

00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,600

We talked about a lot of peripheral case

 

1028

00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,120

studies.

 

1029

00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,160

Let's exactly look at one of the case

 

1030

00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,560

studies that we are talking about.

 

1031

00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,400

The next two case

 

1032

00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:29,760

studies,

 

1033

00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,200

the first one that we are talking about

 

1034

00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,600

is the patient experience.

 

1035

00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,520

Now, imagine, you know, you've called

 

1036

00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,000

a particular person

 

1037

00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,280

and then you said, I'm not feeling well.

 

1038

00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:40,800

And

 

1039

00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:43,320

it looks like, you know,

 

1040

00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,720

a preliminary case of cancer and I

 

1041

00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,440

would like to actually go

 

1042

00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,640

for the preferred provider.

 

1043

00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,440

So what is my eligibility?

 

1044

00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,160

How much of claim can I make

 

1045

00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,200

or, you know,

 

1046

00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,240

how much of it would be my out-of-pocket

 

1047

00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,520

expenses that we are talking about?

 

1048

00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,120

Those are complicated questions

 

1049

00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:02,760

that you are talking about right.

 

1050

00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,440

But let's imagine that, you know,

 

1051

00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,560

you have your advocates,

 

1052

00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,720

advocates are typically

 

1053

00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,720

the people who actually

 

1054

00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,240

handle all of these calls

 

1055

00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:10,920

that we are getting

 

1056

00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,280

from all of our members.

 

1057

00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,360

Imagine this particular advocate

 

1058

00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:16,080

getting a call.

 

1059

00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,120

He doesn't have a clue as to why

 

1060

00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:19,920

this particular member is calling.

 

1061

00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,840

And he starts from grounds-up,

 

1062

00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,520

imagine yourself to be the person

 

1063

00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,640

who's calling and I'm that gate.

 

1064

00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,440

And then I keep asking, hi, how are you?

 

1065

00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,960

How can I help you today?

 

1066

00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:30,960

How are you feeling?

 

1067

00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,520

How does that sound?

 

1068

00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,440

Versus,

 

1069

00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,440

I already have a lot of information

 

1070

00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,240

with me, where I'm

 

1071

00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,040

getting all this information?

 

1072

00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,480

Let's take a step back. Right.

 

1073

00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,400

I get my information

 

1074

00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,520

from voice of customers.

 

1075

00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,040

So today we have a lot of places

 

1076

00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,400

where the customers can go ahead

 

1077

00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,520

and provide the feedback

 

1078

00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:47,840

while they're using the portal

 

1079

00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,560

or the mobile application. Right?

 

1080

00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,400

So you get all of those

 

1081

00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,440

voice of customers part of it.

 

1082

00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,960

Then you have your technology

 

1083

00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:54,760

that would assist you

 

1084

00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,200

in getting you this data

 

1085

00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,720

for all the transaction records

 

1086

00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,960

that you have got.

 

1087

00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,720

Then, given that this

 

1088

00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,760

is all protected data

 

1089

00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,480

with all the right

 

1090

00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,960

measures that are taken,

 

1091

00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,960

we also have a complete digital footprint

 

1092

00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:07,920

of the customer journey.

 

1093

00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,400

So he went to this particular portal.

 

1094

00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,440

He kind of clicked these two-three links

 

1095

00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,200

and then there was a transaction failure.

 

1096

00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,480

I get almost that information

 

1097

00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,080

because I have the digital

 

1098

00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,040

footprint right.

 

1099

00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,360

I can also see whether this guy

 

1100

00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,400

had actually completed

 

1101

00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,760

his journey or not.

 

1102

00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,040

Then I would also have

 

1103

00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,240

the renewal information example

 

1104

00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,600

if I have a health policy

 

1105

00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,880

information that I have taken

 

1106

00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,160

in April of last year,

 

1107

00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,720

and if I'm calling you now,

 

1108

00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,840

in most probability

 

1109

00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:32,280

it could be

 

1110

00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,840

because I might just want to renew it

 

1111

00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,680

or I probably have

 

1112

00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,320

a challenge in renewing it.

 

1113

00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,120

So if I'm able to actually

 

1114

00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,720

take this entire data

 

1115

00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:40,960

that we are talking about

 

1116

00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,640

and I'm able to do

 

1117

00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,560

and apply my AI analytics over here,

 

1118

00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,880

how easy it is for my advocates

 

1119

00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,200

say – “Hey, how are you?

 

1120

00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,160

I see that your renewal is up?

 

1121

00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,600

Are you facing any kind of an issue.

 

1122

00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,080

Can I help you with anything?

 

1123

00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,160

How does that sound?”

 

1124

00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,680

versus “How are you?

 

1125

00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,400

How can I help you today?” Right.

 

1126

00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,480

So what we are trying to do

 

1127

00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,000

as we are trying to leverage ML

 

1128

00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,800

to identify the probable reason

 

1129

00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,360

why customer is calling

 

1130

00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,040

and we want to proactively address

 

1131

00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,000

that particular issue.

 

1132

00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,800

And this also becomes an input

 

1133

00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,640

for all of our other guys

 

1134

00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:13,840

to potentially see

 

1135

00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,120

whether there's a technology issue

 

1136

00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,200

that can be handled

 

1137

00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,440

or is that any other issue

 

1138

00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,640

that can be handled?

 

1139

00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,120

And it typically gets into our backlog.

 

1140

00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,560

That is how seamlessly

 

1141

00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,760

that we are working.

 

1142

00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,080

Being customer obsession

 

1143

00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,240

is all about this.

 

1144

00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,000

Being customer

 

1145

00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,480

centricity is all about it.

 

1146

00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,320

We are kind of putting your customer

 

1147

00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,400

at the center of all of your solutions

 

1148

00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:33,680

and what are the business

 

1149

00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:34,720

benefits that we have derived.

 

1150

00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,960

We are essentially talking about,

 

1151

00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,720

our NPS has increased by 30 points,

 

1152

00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:40,960

and that's a feat

 

1153

00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,200

that we could actually achieve over here.

 

1154

00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,080

And more importantly, you have 40% lesser

 

1155

00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,640

repeat calls that we are talking about

 

1156

00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,560

and the first time

 

1157

00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,120

resolutions that we are talking about,

 

1158

00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:52,680

which are better

 

1159

00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:53,840

resolutions

 

1160

00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,800

have increased by leaps and bounds.

 

1161

00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,360

So that is one

 

1162

00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,200

of the case studies

 

1163

00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,240

that I wanted to talk about on how we are

 

1164

00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,000

being very patient obsessed.

 

1165

00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,800

Now let's look into the other case

 

1166

00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,080

study that we are talking about right.

 

1167

00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,600

Okay,

 

1168

00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,760

just give me a second.

 

1169

00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:17,880

Okay.

 

1170

00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,960

So if you look at it again,

 

1171

00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,880

this particular industry,

 

1172

00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:21,480

I was telling you

 

1173

00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,720

that we receive a lot of data, right?

 

1174

00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,480

We receive a lot of data

 

1175

00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,960

in terms of unstructured data.

 

1176

00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,120

Some of these are like handwritten forms.

 

1177

00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,240

Some of these

 

1178

00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,880

that we are talking about are PDFs

 

1179

00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,040

and the PDFs are not of the same format

 

1180

00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,880

and everything that we are talking about.

 

1181

00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,680

So you get a lot of information,

 

1182

00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,760

you get a lot of unstructured data.

 

1183

00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,200

And what we have to do is

 

1184

00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:42,960

how do we look

 

1185

00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,040

at some of this particular

 

1186

00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,520

information itself?

 

1187

00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,120

So we have two different types

 

1188

00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,400

of problems that we are talking about,

 

1189

00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,960

which is one is a scanned document,

 

1190

00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,680

the other one is the handwritten document

 

1191

00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,080

that we are essentially referring to.

 

1192

00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,080

If you look at some of the you know,

 

1193

00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,400

we talked about operational cost,

 

1194

00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,960

what do we mean by operational cost?

 

1195

00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:02,720

Today,

 

1196

00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:03,120

we have what

 

1197

00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,280

thousand of our employees

 

1198

00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:05,600

who are actually sitting there

 

1199

00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,680

and doing the data entry job, right.

 

1200

00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:08,920

And all of this data

 

1201

00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,160

entry job has to be done

 

1202

00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,440

so that all of the data

 

1203

00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,680

is coming into some standard formats

 

1204

00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:14,040

that can

 

1205

00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,520

then be used by other applications

 

1206

00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:18,480

or processes

 

1207

00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,840

to actually handle all of this data.

 

1208

00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:22,800

And then what is this solution

 

1209

00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,800

that we are talking about here? Right.

 

1210

00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,720

What we have done is

 

1211

00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,360

you have got all of these technologies

 

1212

00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,520

that are already available,

 

1213

00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,800

which is your OCR,

 

1214

00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,040

image processing,

 

1215

00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,040

templatization, contouring,

 

1216

00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,400

object detection.

 

1217

00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,480

The complexity

 

1218

00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,160

of all of this image processing

 

1219

00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:38,200

and the templatization

 

1220

00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,960

and everything was primarily required

 

1221

00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,400

because of the handwritten notes

 

1222

00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,840

that the talking about.

 

1223

00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,440

Predominantly we use all the OCR

 

1224

00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,920

effectively and we also use the transfer

 

1225

00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,800

learning to cut down on some of the model

 

1226

00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,360

training time

 

1227

00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,480

as well as the training data

 

1228

00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,600

requirement itself.

 

1229

00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,440

Now currently we also use manual

 

1230

00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:59,400

data labeling

 

1231

00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,200

and we are investigating

 

1232

00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,520

some of the automated data

 

1233

00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,200

labeling approaches also.

 

1234

00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,120

So this is a work in progress.

 

1235

00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,960

But as we keep

 

1236

00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:09,840

working on this particular model,

 

1237

00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:10,680

one of the things that

 

1238

00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,200

we've identified is

 

1239

00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,320

this is where it is a repeated process.

 

1240

00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,760

Every application

 

1241

00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,640

has this kind of an issues.

 

1242

00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,680

So what we have done is

 

1243

00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,000

there are several use cases

 

1244

00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,200

of this particular solution

 

1245

00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,280

that were deployed,

 

1246

00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,240

which has led to a lot of

 

1247

00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,320

savings in our operational cost itself.

 

1248

00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,280

So that is another use case

 

1249

00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,680

that we wanted to actually talk about.

 

1250

00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,360

Now let's deep

 

1251

00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,920

dive a bit on the scaling

 

1252

00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,760

in the health care part of it.

 

1253

00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,160

So, what is scaling AI in health care

 

1254

00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,800

that we are referring to.

 

1255

00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,880

As I said, some time back,

 

1256

00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,240

because of the complexites

 

1257

00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,200

and because of the number of players

 

1258

00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,320

that are there in the health care

 

1259

00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,800

ecosystem itself,

 

1260

00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,200

we need to build partnerships

 

1261

00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,320

to come up with solutions.

 

1262

00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:55,920

So there are four different parts

 

1263

00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:56,600

of partnerships

 

1264

00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,120

that you're essentially talking about,

 

1265

00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,720

people and experiences.

 

1266

00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:00,480

Now, what do we mean

 

1267

00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,280

by people and experiences right?

 

1268

00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,120

An innovation should actually focus on

 

1269

00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,560

the unmet demands

 

1270

00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,920

of the health care providers

 

1271

00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,880

and where do you get these

 

1272

00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,520

unmet demands itself?

 

1273

00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,120

By co-creating solutions with the health

 

1274

00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,360

care workers itself.

 

1275

00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,960

The actual people who are going to work

 

1276

00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,080

on this particular solution,

 

1277

00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,120

if you are able to work

 

1278

00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:20,880

or partner

 

1279

00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:21,280

with them

 

1280

00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,120

early in the stage

 

1281

00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,040

of the development of the solution,

 

1282

00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:24,840

you see that

 

1283

00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,200

you actually get very

 

1284

00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:27,840

meaningful solutions

 

1285

00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:28,600

at the end of the day.

 

1286

00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,560

These are solutions

 

1287

00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,440

that have a higher adoption

 

1288

00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,360

where your doctors

 

1289

00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:33,200

and your nurses

 

1290

00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,160

and all the health care

 

1291

00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,400

workers are more than happy

 

1292

00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,720

to use this solution

 

1293

00:34:36,720 --> 00:34:38,400

because it is addressing

 

1294

00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,480

one pain point

 

1295

00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,000

that they got in a very seamless fashion.

 

1296

00:34:42,240 --> 00:34:42,880

And in fact,

 

1297

00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,280

if you look at it health care

 

1298

00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,240

workers already know what they want.

 

1299

00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:48,160

It is that we need to use technology

 

1300

00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,320

as an enabler to do it

 

1301

00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:50,560

so people and experiences

 

1302

00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,800

is one of the biggest areas

 

1303

00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,560

that we need to partner with

 

1304

00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:55,080

in order

 

1305

00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,360

to develop these meaningful solutions.

 

1306

00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,600

Then we are talking about data

 

1307

00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,400

and technology.

 

1308

00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,000

Developing AI enabled solutions

 

1309

00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,440

always depends on high quality, properly

 

1310

00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,360

curated data.

 

1311

00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,920

And today, you know, we were

 

1312

00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,920

talking more than several times today

 

1313

00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,600

where the data resides in silos

 

1314

00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:15,480

in different systems

 

1315

00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,920

and different databases

 

1316

00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,600

which don't talk to each other.

 

1317

00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,960

There is no common language

 

1318

00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,200

that these guys can actually

 

1319

00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,040

refer to also,

 

1320

00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,760

and these are all disconnected systems

 

1321

00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,360

in a lot of instances.

 

1322

00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,480

This is where we

 

1323

00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,680

are going to have a problem in fostering

 

1324

00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,120

AI into this particular

 

1325

00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,160

because of the data and technology.

 

1326

00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,160

So what we are essentially talking about

 

1327

00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:36,520

is look at various interconnected

 

1328

00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,160

and interoperable platforms

 

1329

00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,400

that are available

 

1330

00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,480

or infrastructure

 

1331

00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,640

that is available for us to collect,

 

1332

00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,920

combine, analyze

 

1333

00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,640

data across various settings, etc..

 

1334

00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:47,800

The next conversation

 

1335

00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,880

that we are going to have about is the

 

1336

00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,680

governance and the trust.

 

1337

00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,320

In order for your public

 

1338

00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,520

to trust your solution,

 

1339

00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:54,960

in order

 

1340

00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,440

for the public to actually say,

 

1341

00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:56,840

okay, I'm

 

1342

00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,120

going to give you my information

 

1343

00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,760

so that you know, you can apply

 

1344

00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,120

AI part of it,

 

1345

00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:02,680

you have to understand that, you know,

 

1346

00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:03,840

to strengthen the public

 

1347

00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,280

and professional trust,

 

1348

00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,600

we need to go hand-in-hand

 

1349

00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,200

with appropriate governance,

 

1350

00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,720

along with the data privacy,

 

1351

00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:12,400

security and ethics of data itself.

 

1352

00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:13,120

Right.

 

1353

00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,280

With that in 2019,

 

1354

00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,240

we have launched a program

 

1355

00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:21,040

which is focused on responsible

 

1356

00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,240

use of AI/ML systems and models,

 

1357

00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,240

along with various advanced

 

1358

00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:27,560

analytics and algorithms product itself.

 

1359

00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,960

This program has since evolved

 

1360

00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,360

into an enterprise

 

1361

00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,480

AI/ML responsible use program,

 

1362

00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,520

which is aimed at establishing

 

1363

00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,560

and maintaining a governance model

 

1364

00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:38,040

of what

 

1365

00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:39,200

using AI/ML

 

1366

00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,200

responsibly

 

1367

00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,720

within our organization itself.

 

1368

00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:44,400

Then we are talking about partnerships

 

1369

00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,760

and new business models.

 

1370

00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,920

So this is an area

 

1371

00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,040

where a lot of innovation is happening,

 

1372

00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,200

especially on the business models itself.

 

1373

00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:52,800

So they are going to be like, you know,

 

1374

00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,040

partners, ecosystem integrations

 

1375

00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:55,800

or new business

 

1376

00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:56,360

models like,

 

1377

00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:57,600

you know, SaaS based software

 

1378

00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,520

marketplaces are becoming

 

1379

00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,720

one of the most important part

 

1380

00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:03,080

where they’re

 

1381

00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,160

bringing in AI into clinical practices

 

1382

00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:05,960

itself.

 

1383

00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,520

Let's just take,

 

1384

00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:07,800

you know,

 

1385

00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:08,640

as an example,

 

1386

00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,680

you have got an India Policy Bazaar.

 

1387

00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:11,280

Right?

 

1388

00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,000

So similarly,

 

1389

00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,560

there are more and more aggregator

 

1390

00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,160

platforms that are coming in

 

1391

00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:15,960

where you are able

 

1392

00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,800

to actually create more sales

 

1393

00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,720

and marketing models

 

1394

00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:20,520

for all of your product itself.

 

1395

00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,920

So that is where the entire partnerships

 

1396

00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:24,400

are going to work

 

1397

00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,320

and that is the way

 

1398

00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,480

that we can actually scale

 

1399

00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,440

AI in health care space.

 

1400

00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,640

Now as we're talking about, you know,

 

1401

00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:35,200

every story has got two sides,

 

1402

00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,920

every coin has got two parts of it.

 

1403

00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,480

So every hype has got a downside of it,

 

1404

00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,800

the flip side of it.

 

1405

00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,680

So we need to be very, very clear

 

1406

00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,800

about data privacy and security,

 

1407

00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,680

because you are dealing

 

1408

00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,600

with a lot of patient information.

 

1409

00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,720

And some of this data has to be protected

 

1410

00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:52,600

from unauthorized access

 

1411

00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:53,520

so that the patients

 

1412

00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:54,400

have the right control

 

1413

00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,280

on how their data is being used.

 

1414

00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,600

So we need to ensure

 

1415

00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,280

when we are developing those solutions,

 

1416

00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,160

we think about the data privacy

 

1417

00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:01,920

and security part of it.

 

1418

00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,440

The next part of it is

 

1419

00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,280

the lack of transparency. AI

 

1420

00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:07,920

solutions are

 

1421

00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,000

actually considered to be black boxes.

 

1422

00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,040

No one really knows

 

1423

00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,400

what actually happens inside this.

 

1424

00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,560

It is like a magic box.

 

1425

00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,280

You give some input

 

1426

00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,280

and there's an output that is coming out.

 

1427

00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,080

The people don't understand

 

1428

00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,120

how that particular output is coming in.

 

1429

00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,120

It is going to become more magic

 

1430

00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,120

than actually something

 

1431

00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,240

that people would believe in.

 

1432

00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:28,240

The transparency part of it

 

1433

00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:29,600

is going to actually hit

 

1434

00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,240

some of the health care solutions

 

1435

00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:33,280

that we are going to eventually build.

 

1436

00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,560

We are talking about regulations

 

1437

00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,000

and governance, as we talked about.

 

1438

00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,560

You know, on one hand,

 

1439

00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:39,880

the HIPPA compliance

 

1440

00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:40,560

and the protected

 

1441

00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:41,760

data regulations

 

1442

00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:42,800

that we have got

 

1443

00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:43,800

are going to tighten

 

1444

00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,720

on some of the regulations part of it.

 

1445

00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:47,640

But there's also a clear

 

1446

00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,800

lack of regulations and governance

 

1447

00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,000

or guidelines

 

1448

00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,160

of the use of

 

1449

00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,320

AI within the industry itself.

 

1450

00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:55,800

So this is also going to

 

1451

00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,000

make it very, very difficult

 

1452

00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:58,960

for us.

 

1453

00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,200

The next one is unrealistic expectations.

 

1454

00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,840

If you might have actually read or,

 

1455

00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:04,560

you know, recently

 

1456

00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,080

I came across an article

 

1457

00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:07,840

which is a Forbes article

 

1458

00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:08,400

that we

 

1459

00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,720

are talking about field problems

 

1460

00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:12,280

or a case of unrealistic expectations.

 

1461

00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,040

So you hear a lot of people

 

1462

00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,040

complaining that I have leveraged AI

 

1463

00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,520

but this has failed me.

 

1464

00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:18,480

I don't think it

 

1465

00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,640

the AI that is failing

 

1466

00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,760

but just that unrealistic expectation

 

1467

00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:22,680

about what

 

1468

00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:23,760

AI can achieve

 

1469

00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,080

because it needs to have the right data,

 

1470

00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,720

it needs to have the right training.

 

1471

00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:27,720

I think we need to have

 

1472

00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:28,880

a realistic expectation

 

1473

00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:29,960

on all the

 

1474

00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,960

AI solutions that we are building in.

 

1475

00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,640

The last but not the least,

 

1476

00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:34,920

which is the most important

 

1477

00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,040

part of it is,

 

1478

00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:37,120

for organizations

 

1479

00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,200

to invest in these companies,

 

1480

00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,640

they need to see

 

1481

00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,720

how can they monetize that opportunity.

 

1482

00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,200

While we can be very socialistic

 

1483

00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:46,920

in our approach

 

1484

00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,960

of providing solutions and everything,

 

1485

00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:49,920

but for the scaling,

 

1486

00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,120

it actually requires

 

1487

00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,480

any kind of money investment.

 

1488

00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,920

Then that would happen

 

1489

00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,360

only when the companies would invest

 

1490

00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:56,520

and the companies would invest

 

1491

00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:57,680

only when they look at the

 

1492

00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,280

monetization opportunities.

 

1493

00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:00,680

Now with

 

1494

00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,520

that, let's come to the last topic

 

1495

00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:03,840

that we have on our hand,

 

1496

00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,000

which is on the health care

 

1497

00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,120

professional skillset itself.

 

1498

00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,080

So I'm going to concentrate on

 

1499

00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,880

what are some of the critical skillsets

 

1500

00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:12,960

that we need to develop

 

1501

00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,120

as health care professional itself.

 

1502

00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,480

Now, why do I need to talk about this?

 

1503

00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:19,400

It's not the technology

 

1504

00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,240

that makes the differentiator for you.

 

1505

00:40:21,240 --> 00:40:23,760

I think what makes it over here is

 

1506

00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:23,920

that, do

 

1507

00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,800

you have the compassion

 

1508

00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,040

and empathy to be in this industry?

 

1509

00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,320

You have to understand

 

1510

00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:30,880

that you are always surrounded

 

1511

00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,120

by people who are a probably in pain.

 

1512

00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:34,520

The high moment comes in

 

1513

00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,120

many of solve that particular problem.

 

1514

00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,880

But if you look at the value of process

 

1515

00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:38,640

itself,

 

1516

00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,280

you're constantly surrounded by problems.

 

1517

00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,760

You are constantly surrounded

 

1518

00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,280

by sickness and illness.

 

1519

00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:45,600

And that requires

 

1520

00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,680

a lot of compassion

 

1521

00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:47,200

and empathy

 

1522

00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,840

for us to actually develop solutions

 

1523

00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,400

in this industry.

 

1524

00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:51,360

And the second thing

 

1525

00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,840

is a constant exposure to this kind of

 

1526

00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,440

illness or,

 

1527

00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,320

you know, this kind of

 

1528

00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,480

a problem statements

 

1529

00:40:58,480 --> 00:40:59,400

that we are talking about,

 

1530

00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,240

emotional stability

 

1531

00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:01,800

is something that we really,

 

1532

00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,200

really look out for in people.

 

1533

00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,080

Great and excellent communication,

 

1534

00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:06,800

because this kind of

 

1535

00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,040

makes you a very effective

 

1536

00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,200

team player.

 

1537

00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:11,520

Being honest,

 

1538

00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:12,360

having strong

 

1539

00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,040

ethics, is

 

1540

00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,440

one of the non-negotiable things

 

1541

00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,200

that we are essentially

 

1542

00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:19,560

talking about, right?

 

1543

00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,600

Because we are we are dealing with lives.

 

1544

00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,200

We are dealing with health care,

 

1545

00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,320

which is one of the most important things

 

1546

00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:26,040

of our lives itself.

 

1547

00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,240

Proactive and

 

1548

00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,160

being responsible for your work

 

1549

00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,400

and also having certain

 

1550

00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,000

control over your time management,

 

1551

00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:34,320

where you have,

 

1552

00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:35,480

what all the time management

 

1553

00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,400

skills and everything

 

1554

00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,840

are the critical skills

 

1555

00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,360

that we are talking about.

 

1556

00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:39,960

Now let's look

 

1557

00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,400

at some of the secondary skills.

 

1558

00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:41,840

The reason

 

1559

00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,160

I call them secondary skills is,

 

1560

00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,480

these are skills that can be learnt.

 

1561

00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,760

These are the skills that can be evolved.

 

1562

00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:48,920

I think the first skills,

 

1563

00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:49,920

what we are talking about,

 

1564

00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:50,600

the compassion

 

1565

00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:51,160

and empathy

 

1566

00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:51,680

is something

 

1567

00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,800

that has to come internal itself.

 

1568

00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,520

So, you know, you've got a lot of things.

 

1569

00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,800

Again, AI is a very, very vast area.

 

1570

00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,440

But I wanted to kind of,

 

1571

00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,680

you know, call down,

 

1572

00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,400

especially at Optum,

 

1573

00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:04,520

what are the things that we are

 

1574

00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:05,880

kind of looking at?

 

1575

00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,520

These are machine learning experts

 

1576

00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:09,280

who have got expertise in Scala,

 

1577

00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,640

Python and Java.

 

1578

00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,400

We look always for, you know,

 

1579

00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,120

data scientists

 

1580

00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,640

play a very important role in our

 

1581

00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,400

AI journey itself.

 

1582

00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:17,280

BI developer,

 

1583

00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,440

so the BI developer,

 

1584

00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:19,200

we are not looking at

 

1585

00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:20,240

who is going to develop

 

1586

00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:21,640

just the dashboards,

 

1587

00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:23,640

but who can convey a story.

 

1588

00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:24,960

End of the day,

 

1589

00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,480

your dashboard should tell the story

 

1590

00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,360

on whether you're doing

 

1591

00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,680

well or not doing well.

 

1592

00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,320

What are the areas of improvement?

 

1593

00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,320

And that's the story

 

1594

00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,080

that we're kind of looking at from the BI

 

1595

00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:33,160

developer itself.

 

1596

00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,280

Research scientist

 

1597

00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,160

because we have a lot of patents.

 

1598

00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,280

We also want to look at,

 

1599

00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:38,560

you know,

 

1600

00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,000

parallel computing,

 

1601

00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,520

distributed computing, quantum

 

1602

00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:42,920

computing benchmark

 

1603

00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,360

and a lot of other things that we look

 

1604

00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,720

from a research scientist itself.

 

1605

00:42:45,720 --> 00:42:47,200

Then of course,

 

1606

00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,960

we have the big data architect.

 

1607

00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,240

And if you look at predominantly

 

1608

00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:52,960

a lot of our work gets done

 

1609

00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,240

from Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Bangalore at

 

1610

00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:56,040

this point of time.

 

1611

00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:58,640

So, with that I

 

1612

00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,480

come to the end of our presentation

 

1613

00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,400

and we are open for questions.

 

1614

00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,040

But I wanted to actually

 

1615

00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,960

reiterate again that we want to improve

 

1616

00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,240

the lives of others

 

1617

00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:10,440

while doing our life’s best work

 

1618

00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:20,560

and that's at Optum.

 

1619

00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:21,760

I see some questions, Jyo.

 

1620

00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,040

Let me read the questions

 

1621

00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:32,640

that we can answer.

 

1622

00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,920

Is there any parametric test

 

1623

00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:35,760

data available

 

1624

00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,880

till today, to diagnose any

 

1625

00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,640

disease as earlier predictions

 

1626

00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,440

at any stage?

 

1627

00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,520

I think those are some of the things

 

1628

00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,480

that we have been talking about, right?

 

1629

00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,320

We are talking about a skin lesion.

 

1630

00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,440

We are talking about lung cancer.

 

1631

00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,280

We are also talking

 

1632

00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,480

about the spinal surgery

 

1633

00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,080

and various other things.

 

1634

00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,480

So this is an evolving area.

 

1635

00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:58,520

If you are asking me

 

1636

00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:59,520

have we figured out

 

1637

00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:00,800

that particular formula

 

1638

00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,120

by which we could definitely do

 

1639

00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,560

early detection of this,

 

1640

00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:05,480

I wouldn't say

 

1641

00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,120

that it's a definite answer

 

1642

00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,680

because it's in a work in progress

 

1643

00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,280

and we are continuously improving

 

1644

00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,520

some of the algorithms

 

1645

00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,080

as a health care industry itself,

 

1646

00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,160

we kind of continuously working on it.

 

1647

00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,440

But yes, there are several use cases

 

1648

00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,520

that we are able to actually point out

 

1649

00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,440

and where the accuracy is,

 

1650

00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,400

you know, closer to what the health care

 

1651

00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:25,560

professionals are able to

 

1652

00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:26,400

detect at this point of time.

 

1653

00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:30,320

The next question,

 

1654

00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:31,480

what are the challenges

 

1655

00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:32,880

you see in integrating

 

1656

00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,560

AI into existing health care systems

 

1657

00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,440

in companies like UHG?

 

1658

00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,840

Can you repeat that?

 

1659

00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,440

What are the challenges

 

1660

00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,440

we foresee in integrating AI into

 

1661

00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,040

existing health care systems

 

1662

00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,760

in companies like UHG?

 

1663

00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,160

So, as I told, you right

 

1664

00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,280

all the health care systems

 

1665

00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,200

that you've got a very disparate,

 

1666

00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,240

and then it is very siloed information

 

1667

00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:55,080

that we are talking about.

 

1668

00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,760

The first and foremost part of it

 

1669

00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,840

is getting curated data itself,

 

1670

00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,240

and then also creating

 

1671

00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:01,200

that particular layer

 

1672

00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,160

where we are able

 

1673

00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,240

to bring all the data

 

1674

00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:05,200

onto the same language,

 

1675

00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:05,520

when I say the same language

 

1676

00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,360

I am not really talking about a Java

 

1677

00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,640

or a JavaScript

 

1678

00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,840

kind of a thing, but more importantly,

 

1679

00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,360

what the systems understand

 

1680

00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,440

or they have structured data

 

1681

00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,640

that is interpreted in the same way.

 

1682

00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:17,760

So I think this is

 

1683

00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,440

one of the most important channels

 

1684

00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:20,920

not to spend optimizing,

 

1685

00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:21,720

but I think it is

 

1686

00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:23,280

something that is global

 

1687

00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,760

that we are essentially talking about.

 

1688

00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,320

The next one,

 

1689

00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,520

ChatGPT is recently an AI chatbot,

 

1690

00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:32,680

whether it can be implemented

 

1691

00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:33,440

in health care,

 

1692

00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:34,080

for example,

 

1693

00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:35,480

minor symptoms like fever,

 

1694

00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,200

health problems.

 

1695

00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,360

You know, I think very frankly

 

1696

00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:41,240

it is too early for

 

1697

00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:42,760

any one of us to actually talk

 

1698

00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,280

about the potential

 

1699

00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,720

or the use cases that ChatGPT

 

1700

00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:47,880

can actually deliver

 

1701

00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:48,920

in the health care space,

 

1702

00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,520

because I think it is too early

 

1703

00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:50,880

for us

 

1704

00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,040

to actually have the data

 

1705

00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,720

that is going to support our claim,

 

1706

00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:57,960

whether it is for or against the ChatGPT

 

1707

00:45:58,280 --> 00:45:59,600

that we are talking about.

 

1708

00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,200

I would like to reserve my judgment

 

1709

00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,480

for a later date

 

1710

00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,200

when we have actually experimented

 

1711

00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:04,800

with some of the

 

1712

00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:05,960

ChatGPT use cases

 

1713

00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:06,960

and we have a concrete answer

 

1714

00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:08,480

that we can talk about.

 

1715

00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,080

I think it is premature on my part,

 

1716

00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,560

to answer any of those right now.

 

1717

00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,920

The next one, how can,

 

1718

00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,720

how can one explore or apply

 

1719

00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,680

for data science jobs at Optum?

 

1720

00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,760

See, you know, let me

 

1721

00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,280

tell you this

 

1722

00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:28,200

one.

 

1723

00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,600

We have LinkedIn posts

 

1724

00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:30,480

that actually go in

 

1725

00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,200

because we feel that

 

1726

00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:33,720

one of the best places

 

1727

00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:35,920

where we can recruit our employees

 

1728

00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,360

or our potential employees

 

1729

00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:38,600

would be on LinkedIn.

 

1730

00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:40,440

So if you can actually subscribe

 

1731

00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,320

to our Optum LinkedIn

 

1732

00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,120

channel that we are talking about,

 

1733

00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,360

you will keep seeing a lot of

 

1734

00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,880

our advertisements

 

1735

00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:49,520

are required for the post

 

1736

00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,760

actually get in.

 

1737

00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,120

One of the other best ways,

 

1738

00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:53,480

look out for,

 

1739

00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:54,800

you know, your connections

 

1740

00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,040

who are there at Optum.

 

1741

00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,840

We have an internal job portal

 

1742

00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:58,960

where we kind of post

 

1743

00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,960

all the openings for our Optum, in India

 

1744

00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:03,880

and U.S. also.

 

1745

00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,280

It's a global portal

 

1746

00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:06,560

that we are talking about,

 

1747

00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,480

that is a very good source of information

 

1748

00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:08,960

in terms of

 

1749

00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:09,680

what are the roles

 

1750

00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,040

that are actually available.

 

1751

00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,840

And this particular roles are two ways

 

1752

00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:13,680

that we are talking about.

 

1753

00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,840

One is the internal reference itself,

 

1754

00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:16,800

where a person

 

1755

00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,120

who is working within Optum

 

1756

00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,760

can actually look for a change and move

 

1757

00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,120

because we totally

 

1758

00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:23,520

encourage talent mobility

 

1759

00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,160

within the organization itself.

 

1760

00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:25,960

But the second one

 

1761

00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:26,880

that we are essentially

 

1762

00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,320

talking about is also how do you,

 

1763

00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,480

you know,

 

1764

00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,240

network with your individuals

 

1765

00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:33,000

or your connections

 

1766

00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,200

within Optum to understand

 

1767

00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,160

what are the roles?

 

1768

00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:36,200

If I'm not wrong, I'm

 

1769

00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,160

not like 100% sure about this,

 

1770

00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:38,920

but I think that is

 

1771

00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,320

an external facing portal

 

1772

00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:41,760

also which talks

 

1773

00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,080

about the various Optum

 

1774

00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,080

openings that are there.

 

1775

00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:57,720

What is the scope of

 

1776

00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,240

career if I wanted to transition

 

1777

00:47:59,240 --> 00:48:02,480

to an AI product manager for

 

1778

00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:06,360

process

 

1779

00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,000

improvement consulting?

 

1780

00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,280

I think you're already there.

 

1781

00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,880

If you're already looking at a process

 

1782

00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,480

improvement part of it,

 

1783

00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,200

you are already playing a product

 

1784

00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:17,920

owner role, in my opinion,

 

1785

00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:19,200

because you are essentially trying

 

1786

00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:21,240

to see how you can enhance and experience

 

1787

00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,040

all you can,

 

1788

00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:23,720

how you can make a particular process

 

1789

00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:25,040

efficient itself.

 

1790

00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:26,120

In just,

 

1791

00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:26,520

you know,

 

1792

00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,880

I think you need to acquire

 

1793

00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,680

a little bit more practical knowledge

 

1794

00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:31,120

in terms

 

1795

00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:32,120

of what a product owner

 

1796

00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,360

would require like the tools

 

1797

00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,160

and technologies that are required.

 

1798

00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:36,240

You're talking about a Jira

 

1799

00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:39,200

or Rally or RAS kind of thing

 

1800

00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:40,400

and also bring in the rigor

 

1801

00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,760

that is required for you to document

 

1802

00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,040

what is your ask?

 

1803

00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:45,120

And as I was talking about,

 

1804

00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,920

experience led development. Right.

 

1805

00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:47,880

One of the other things

 

1806

00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:49,240

that you can look at is

 

1807

00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:51,240

how do you develop prototypes

 

1808

00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:52,960

or wired framing or storyboarding

 

1809

00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:54,440

of your requirements in terms of the

 

1810

00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:55,200

what is the process

 

1811

00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,120

requirements that are need to be done

 

1812

00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,120

and how do you actually coordinate

 

1813

00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:00,800

and improve the communication

 

1814

00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:01,760

along with the developers

 

1815

00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,720

to convert your vision into a product

 

1816

00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:05,120

that is deployable?

 

1817

00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,240

I think of getting into a process

 

1818

00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:09,320

improvement to a product owner is not

 

1819

00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:10,720

something that is like

 

1820

00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:13,160

vastly different.

 

1821

00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:13,960

I think you

 

1822

00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,320

should be able to do that

 

1823

00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,160

with a little bit of focus and rigor

 

1824

00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,960

and a bit of guidance over there.

 

1825

00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,320

And good functional knowledge of it.

 

1826

00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,160

Yes.

 

1827

00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,000

The next one is,

 

1828

00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,720

how AI/ML is helping

 

1829

00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,040

it is the problem of medical adherence,

 

1830

00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,880

as Optum deployed any

 

1831

00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,200

AI/ML algorithms to address

 

1832

00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,440

medical adherence and improving

 

1833

00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,040

patient experience?

 

1834

00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,680

So I think we have addressed

 

1835

00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:43,800

some of these questions

 

1836

00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:44,640

in the presentation

 

1837

00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,080

that we have talked about,

 

1838

00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:47,400

the medical adherence

 

1839

00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,680

and the data security and privacy

 

1840

00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:50,560

that we are talking about

 

1841

00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:51,680

or the governance part of it.

 

1842

00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:52,760

The entire regulations

 

1843

00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,280

and everything that is there.

 

1844

00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,120

We have been using AI extensively

 

1845

00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:57,680

to ensure

 

1846

00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:58,560

that we are being

 

1847

00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,120

very compliant with that.

 

1848

00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,680

But if your question is more in-depth,

 

1849

00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,000

we can probably take it offline.

 

1850

00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:21,400

Government policies keep changing,

 

1851

00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,840

how do you keep your solutions up to date

 

1852

00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:27,880

in accordance with government policies?

 

1853

00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,600

Okay, so you know, in U.S.

 

1854

00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:32,240

it gets even more complicated

 

1855

00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:33,440

because you are not just talking

 

1856

00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,160

about a global government policies,

 

1857

00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,080

but you're talking about

 

1858

00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,280

statewide government policies also.

 

1859

00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,200

So every state has got its own legal

 

1860

00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:41,640

and governance policies

 

1861

00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,320

that are mandatory for us to adhere.

 

1862

00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:45,040

But then, you know,

 

1863

00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,160

you also have to understand

 

1864

00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:47,200

that the government

 

1865

00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,520

also ensures that we are

 

1866

00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:49,480

given enough notice

 

1867

00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:50,200

to be compliant

 

1868

00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:51,360

with all of those procedures

 

1869

00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,760

and policies and regulations and so on.

 

1870

00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,520

So when you kind of,

 

1871

00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:55,720

you know,

 

1872

00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:57,120

when we are talking about the health care

 

1873

00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:58,720

domain expertise itself,

 

1874

00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:00,960

these are the areas as a product owner or

 

1875

00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,600

the person was defining or

 

1876

00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,080

designing the solution itself,

 

1877

00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,960

you can kind of make it

 

1878

00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:07,720

a flexible

 

1879

00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:08,520

enough for you

 

1880

00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:09,840

to kind of take care

 

1881

00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,640

of the governance,

 

1882

00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:12,960

regulations and policies

 

1883

00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,400

while you can't really predict

 

1884

00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,480

what kind of policies are coming in.

 

1885

00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,560

You can make the solution

 

1886

00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:19,720

in a configurable way.

 

1887

00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:20,800

That is what we do it

 

1888

00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:21,840

for a certain extent.

 

1889

00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:22,360

I wouldn't say

 

1890

00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,600

our solution is totally configurable,

 

1891

00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,360

but we try to, given that expertise,

 

1892

00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,840

we try to anticipate

 

1893

00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:28,560

what are the things

 

1894

00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,560

that would likely change in future

 

1895

00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,160

and we try to make that as flexible

 

1896

00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:33,120

as possible.

 

1897

00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,400

You want to add anything?

 

1898

00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,280

That's good,

 

1899

00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:38,400

that's good in a way

 

1900

00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,280

that probably I would have missed it.

 

1901

00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,480

Talking about, you know,

 

1902

00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:48,000

I think I was focusing on something else.

 

1903

00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:52,200

Good, also I see a number of questions on

 

1904

00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,480

the skills needed for

 

1905

00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,400

the spaces needed

 

1906

00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,080

and how they can apply for jobs at Optum?

 

1907

00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,560

We do have portals

 

1908

00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:04,240

and external portals,

 

1909

00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:08,040

as also mention that we also have

 

1910

00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,640

the LinkedIn post that keep coming.

 

1911

00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,240

And I see people who are looking for

 

1912

00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:19,160

change or career at Optum.

 

1913

00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:25,040

There are lots of opportunities as well.

 

1914

00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:25,440

Okay,

 

1915

00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:26,080

So probably

 

1916

00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,160

I won't be going into those details.

 

1917

00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:32,720

Okay.

 

1918

00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:36,360

Are there any cloud

 

1919

00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,040

based solutions

 

1920

00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,680

in pipeline in this domain?

 

1921

00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,120

So most of our solutions today,

 

1922

00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:43,760

if you look at it, is already on health

 

1923

00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:44,840

care cloud

 

1924

00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,480

that we are essentially talking about.

 

1925

00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,240

So we are kind of migrating

 

1926

00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:49,640

to the cloud infrastructure.

 

1927

00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,560

Some applications are already moved,

 

1928

00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:52,640

but the rest of it

 

1929

00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,080

are actually in progress.

 

1930

00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,800

So we have a very solid pipeline

 

1931

00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,560

of ensuring all our key

 

1932

00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,360

or strategic and blue chip programs

 

1933

00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,080

that actually moving on to the cloud.

 

1934

00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,880

Maybe just to add to that,

 

1935

00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,560

we have huge initiatives in Optum,

 

1936

00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,360

towards making the data,

 

1937

00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,560

storing the data

 

1938

00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:13,560

and making it

 

1939

00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,640

available seamlessly

 

1940

00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,240

and then making through a robust channel.

 

1941

00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,640

You know, we are leveraging

 

1942

00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,280

cloud data platforms

 

1943

00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:25,560

like Snowflake,

 

1944

00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,080

Azure Cosmos DB

 

1945

00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,120

and those are things to heavily explored

 

1946

00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,560

in fact we have a lot of key programs

 

1947

00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,400

towards those.

 

1948

00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:39,640

So what are the research

 

1949

00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,720

opportunities?

 

1950

00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:44,000

I mean,

 

1951

00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,360

are you're talking about

 

1952

00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,800

the research opportunities within

 

1953

00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,000

AI/ML space you know?

 

1954

00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:56,160

As Jyothsna mentioned earlier,

 

1955

00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,040

the research opportunities are endless.

 

1956

00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,800

Any health care problem where automation

 

1957

00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:04,040

and machine learning

 

1958

00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,280

can help

that's an opportunity

 

1959

00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,840

is what we see.

 

1960

00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,000

So yeah, in fact

 

1961

00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:14,840

there is so much focus

 

1962

00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,400

on identifying the problems

 

1963

00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,560

and then finding the solutions.

 

1964

00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,680

And we are talking about zero distance

 

1965

00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,920

from the

 

1966

00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:24,880

business problems,

 

1967

00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:25,400

in this case

 

1968

00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:27,520

the health care problems to the solutions

 

1969

00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,080

that we provide.

 

1970

00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,480

So just to add on top of it, right.

 

1971

00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,160

I think there are a lot of

 

1972

00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:34,680

research opportunities

 

1973

00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:35,680

that exist in the health

 

1974

00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,520

care domain itself.

 

1975

00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:38,160

For example,

 

1976

00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,240

there's a lot of universities that are,

 

1977

00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:41,280

you know,

 

1978

00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:42,520

spending a lot of grants

 

1979

00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:43,560

in terms of

 

1980

00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,000

research on how the

 

1981

00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,240

health care detections

 

1982

00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:47,280

that you're talking about right

 

1983

00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,360

the health care, the disease detections

 

1984

00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:51,240

or the increasing

 

1985

00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:52,800

the accuracy of these detections

 

1986

00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:53,280

and everything.

 

1987

00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:53,760

I think there's

 

1988

00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,240

a lot of research opportunities

 

1989

00:54:55,240 --> 00:54:56,280

that are going on.

 

1990

00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:57,640

And if you look at that, health

 

1991

00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:59,000

care is also one area

 

1992

00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,040

that kind of attracts

 

1993

00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:01,640

a lot of patents, right?

 

1994

00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,480

And the patents are filed

 

1995

00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:04,600

almost like every day

 

1996

00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:06,160

in the health care space of it.

 

1997

00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:07,840

So there's always some

 

1998

00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,760

or the other research that is going

 

1999

00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:11,080

on, on a product

 

2000

00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,800

can be productized itself.

 

2001

00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,720

So yes, the opportunities are

 

2002

00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:15,600

numerous over there.

 

2003

00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,960

Yeah, multiple reporting and audit.

 

2004

00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,840

So one of the major workload,

 

2005

00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:25,480

do you apply AI/ML for that as well.

 

2006

00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,520

At this point of time, not really,

 

2007

00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:28,160

because you know,

 

2008

00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:29,520

we are just doing some pilots

 

2009

00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:30,120

in terms of

 

2010

00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:31,560

how effectively can we use

 

2011

00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,680

AI in terms of the audit trail

 

2012

00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,720

or the audit part of it itself.

 

2013

00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:37,320

But we don't have a solution

 

2014

00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:38,520

that it can actually talk about

 

2015

00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:39,520

at this point of time on

 

2016

00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:40,640

how we have successfully

 

2017

00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,320

used AI in terms of the auditing itself.

 

2018

00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,960

So a

 

2019

00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,000

lot of other questions, probably

 

2020

00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,080

we won't be able to cover everything,

 

2021

00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:52,840

but then I think

 

2022

00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:53,720

we can take these questions

 

2023

00:55:53,720 --> 00:55:54,560

offline as well.

 

2024

00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,800

Maybe

 

2025

00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,760

we will take one last question.

 

2026

00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,280

How the people looking

 

2027

00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,320

and teaching in academics can work

 

2028

00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:12,320

along with Optum?

 

2029

00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:12,560

I

 

2030

00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:18,880

need to get back to

 

2031

00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:22,840

you on that particular question.

 

2032

00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,240

Probably I'm not the right person

 

2033

00:56:24,240 --> 00:56:25,560

to answer that question,

 

2034

00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:27,600

but I can circulate back to Sukriti

 

2035

00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:28,360

on, you know,

 

2036

00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:29,440

how can we partner

 

2037

00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,120

with any of the educational institutions

 

2038

00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,560

or probably the professors

 

2039

00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:34,120

that are kind of

 

2040

00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:35,880

in that particular space, we can do it.

 

2041

00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:37,680

But I can call out something, right?

 

2042

00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,040

So we always look out

 

2043

00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,400

for the educationalists

 

2044

00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,480

and also the premier institutes

 

2045

00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,360

and everything to guide us.

 

2046

00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,280

For example, when the ChatGPT has come

 

2047

00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:47,040

in, one of the things

 

2048

00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:47,760

that we are working with

 

2049

00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,600

some of the colleges

 

2050

00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:50,960

is to see how effectively

 

2051

00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:51,720

can we use ChatGPT,

 

2052

00:56:51,720 --> 00:56:53,400

I mean what are the use cases.

 

2053

00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,360

ChatGPT is again

 

2054

00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,240

a huge trend that we are talking about

 

2055

00:56:57,240 --> 00:56:58,480

and it's evolving.

 

2056

00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,240

So what we actually wanted to do was

 

2057

00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:01,760

what are the low hanging

 

2058

00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,080

use cases that we can start implementing

 

2059

00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:05,400

to see the effectiveness

 

2060

00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:06,640

of those particular use cases

 

2061

00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,520

is something that we've already started

 

2062

00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,320

and getting in conversations in terms of,

 

2063

00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:10,920

you know,

 

2064

00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:12,840

what other complex use

 

2065

00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,040

cases can be derived

 

2066

00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,560

from ChatGPT solutions.

 

2067

00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:18,800

However, I need to give you

 

2068

00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:20,080

an exact answer on

 

2069

00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:21,440

how do we partner

 

2070

00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,000

that's probably something that I need

 

2071

00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:27,280

to revert.

 

2072

00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:28,440

I think we have covered.

 

2073

00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:29,360

So Sukriti,

 

2074

00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:34,000

I will give the control back to you then?

 

2075

00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:35,280

Thank you so much, Jyothsna

 

2076

00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:36,240

and thank you Pragati

 

2077

00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,200

for helping us with the Q&A

 

2078

00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,560

and a lot of positive feedback

 

2079

00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:41,920

from our audience today Jyothsna.

 

2080

00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:43,400

Everybody you know,

 

2081

00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:44,280

everyone in the audience

 

2082

00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,480

enjoyed the session thoroughly

 

2083

00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:46,800

and thank you for taking up

 

2084

00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,160

so many questions along with Pragati.

 

2085

00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,000

Thank you, Jyothsna once again,

 

2086

00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:51,600

thank you, everyone,

 

2087

00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,040

for joining the session.

 

2088

00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:53,880

We have recorded it

 

2089

00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,440

and it will be available in 24 hours

 

2090

00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:56,760

on the same webinar page.

 

2091

00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:57,360

So in case

 

2092

00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:58,320

if you've missed anything,

 

2093

00:57:58,320 --> 00:57:59,560

you can revisit the session

 

2094

00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,640

and actually get your queries sorted.

 

2095

00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,600

Jyothsna thank you so much once again.

 

2096

00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,240

Thank you Sukriti. Thank you.

 

2097

00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,520

Thank you Sukriti for this opportunity.

 

2098

00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:12,600

Thank you Pragati.

 

2099

00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:13,880

Everyone please stay safe and take care.

 

2100

00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,040

I'll see you very soon

 

2101

00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,040

with another episode of our webinar.

 

2102

00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:17,480

Thank you.
