Humans\, machines\, and algorithms must learn important lessons and everything should come together from policy and strategy to processes and tools to save us! \nMESHAI.io has focused on helping reduce the largest component in healthcare cost by listening to the frontline providers and making sure they are well taken care of. Join us to hear about our point of view in this regard and on “Socially Intelligent Staff Scheduling” in healthcare. How can we do better? Where can you help? \nBiography: Prof. Shahram Yousefi is a passionate problem-solver with a strong belief that people are our biggest assets in every team.
