Shez Partovi, Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer at Philips, joins Maria Botros in this week's episode of the Tell Me Why podcast to discuss how Philips is helping with overcoming the barrier of time in the pursuit of better health.

  • Shez: Time is a critical barrier because we live in a world where the patient population is aging, the number of chronic diseases is increasing and the burden on health systems is increasing

  • There’s also an incredible imbalance between the demand on care and supply, and what that translates to is time, says Shez

  • Shez: We’ve built AI algorithms that can be embedded in existing MRI or CT scanners in healthcare facilities, allowing physicians to do image scanning 3 times faster

  • If you look at AI, there 2 lenses to consider which are automation and augmentation, says Shez
