Conference Vibe

After almost 30,000 steps, including some 500 minutes of standing, 2 Vegas loop rides, 61 video segments including 2 live streams and 140 minutes of content, our coverage of AAPEX (Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo) and SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association Show) closes. AAPEX and SEMA consistently attract over 161,000 to Las Vegas including over 70,000 buyers and 3300 media and 2400 exhibiting countries form 140 countries. The event leverages 1.2 million net square feet of exhibit space and additional 1 million square feet outside of the LVCC in neighbouring areas including the Westgate.

Featuring over 1500 vehicles in booths and throughout the convention center and over 3,000 new products, it is THE place to be in those in the automotive sector. The combined events feature live presentations, interactive demos, training, education, and networking within the global automotive industry. That means the event featured a lot of virtual garage space.

AAPEX leveraged the full Venetian Expo lower hall, the entire upper hall including leveraging rooms for meetings and sessions. The usual Venetian eateries were available including the café, the food marketplace and the bistro! In addition, AAPEX always features the Truck Stop downstairs and a Beer Garden near the bridge to Caesars Forum. Admittedly, it is the only time I noticed the movable temporary eateries named something reflecting the nature of the conference. AAPEX also formally leverages all of Caesars Forum for exhibits.

For getting around, those wishing to zip from AAPEX over to SEMA, Caesars Forum has a Monorail station one can leverage. Buses also ran between all AAPEX and SEMA locations. Within SEMA, the West Hall and North Hall are connected via a connecting corridor that hosted the legendary SEMA Art Walk. One can also take the Vegas Loop from South Hall, Central, or West Halls to get to each other or hotels connected.

SEMA spanned the entirety of the Las Vegas Convention Center sans the new Central Hall lobby still under construction; TBW Advisors LLC was able to get a sneak speak of its upcoming grandeur. It is valuable to note that many vendors had multiple booths at both events. While in 2019 the event wasn’t sure what a technologist and data expert would do at AAPEX and SEMA, this year, just as last year featured more and more technology for us to dig into especially in North Hall. North Hall was dedicated to first-time exhibitors, business services and mobile electronics and technology. We were able to capture the Healthy eatery in North Hall while we were there. South Hall lower featured the tire expo as well as wheels and accessories. South Hall upper featured collision repair and refinishing both equipment and tools to execute. Central Hall featured racing, performance, powersports, utility vehicles, hot rod alley and the entire restoration marketplace. West Hall features all the speciality recreating, trucks, SUVs, & off-roads speciality equipment including accessories. As is customary, we also caught the food available in West Hall. SEMA is also very well known for the SEMA SHOW outdoor exhibition of cars – enjoy our walkabout.

We once again live streamed from on site. On Tuesday from AAPEX requesting those attending to find me to answer Questions 1-3, and Wednesday from SEMA SHOW to requesting assistance on your favorite videos for my segment on the November 8 broadcast edition of Computer Talk Radio.

While at AAPEX SEMA 2025, we conducted research for three additional forthcoming Whisper Reports for our clients. The playlists are unlisted but available and will eventually fill in with the video version of the report so you may wish to bookmark these playlists.
Readers and viewers wishing to experience the entire event are encouraged to view the Conference Whispers: AAPEX SEMA Playlist in its entirety. The playlist will be cited in the end screen, description, and as a pinned comment of the video edition.

The video edition will conclude with a montage of responses to Question 4 — “What’s the best part about attending AAPEX and SEMA live in Vegas?” — capturing the energy and moments that made the event unforgettable.

Exhibits

Touring the exhibits we captured, we will start with the technology to help auto shop owners be found online in the first place, AutoShop Solutions. Need to get your technicians certified? AVTECC is not just talking about certifications, they to help ensure your team has the right qualifications to meet your customer’s needs. Hunter Engineering was on hand with their portfolio of solution. Their focus is making life easier for technicians, more profitable for owners leading to happier end customers to get the word out. Boasting over 50,000 customers world-wide in 35 countries, klipboard provides solutions form point of sale through inventory management, e-commerce, and catalogue including all data for tire and service companies. If you are seeking diagnostics for anything from automotive, heavy-duty truck, all highway equipment, marine and powersport you are in luck! TEXA revealed their 5 in 1 diagnostics solution including demonstrations in their Bay at Joe’s Garage. If the challenge in your shop is diagnosing and calibrating ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) equipped vehicles, Opus IVS wants their intelligent vehicle support solution on your radar. Opus IVS is literally an entire ecosystem for the automotive aftermarket for diagnosing and calibrating ADAS equipped vehicles.

Instead of going to an Autoshop, perhaps you dream of an auto shop coming to you? Perhaps even insisting they bring OEM equipment? Then Elitek is making your dreams come true! If it isn’t necessarily about repair but a complete rebuild? Even rebuilding heavy trucks? Then LKQ has a solution to fit your needs. They can even help create parts no longer available. Have a big truck and want to avoid accidents or more specifically remove your blind spots? Voxx was very excited to share their revolutionary aftermarket product with you. Perhaps it is not so much about blind spots but recording what is going on around your vehicle? Worried about the solution failing over putting a huge drain on your batter? Having a hard time finding one with decent resolution? Or better yet one with both built in privacy so you can share your videos on line and technology to clean up plates images for accountability? One of the stars from our CES coverage, Vueroid, was back at SEMA with their high-res, never fail dashcam.

Perhaps one is seeking a fast car? Turntide was in Central Hall with their Axial Flux Motor in an All-Electric Sierra Echo-S able to reach a top speed of 140 miles an hour. Electric vehicles on your mind but are more concerned with replacing your EV battery on your car in your garage? Greentec has 35 locations across the US and include recycling capabilities. More of a traditional ‘no replacement for displacement’ combustion motors fan but find the ECU getting in the way of your performance dreams? AutoTune brought their solution able to assist you with over 21,000 different cars.

Finally as denoted, many technology companies were there to support the general business functions of the business including Lyncco with their global logistics solutions. Lyncco proudly shared they can help you optimize your entire supply chain – globally.

Conference Vibe

After 3,000 steps, 30 videos, over 30 minutes of content including demos and a livestream, and a handful of fact checks, our coverage of the inaugural Put Data First held at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas closes. Registration was easy to find once inside the conference section of Planet Hollywood. Rather than endless keynote speakers, this event featured approximately 23 round tables. In addition, vendors had demonstrations so one could tangibly understand the products. What I enjoyed most was the fact that the event was full of those with deep expertise in deep learning leading to deep conversations about the state and future of various forms of AI in our enterprises and society at large. Enjoy the walkabout of the conference space.

We once again live streamed from on site. On Tuesday requesting those attending to find me to answer Questions 1-3, to introduce all to TBW Advisors LLC, and requesting assistance. Specifically, I requested assistance on your favorite videos for my segment on the November 14th broadcast edition of Computer Talk Radio.

While at Put Data First 2025, we conducted research for three additional forthcoming Whisper Reports for our clients. The playlists are unlisted but available and will eventually fill in with the video version of the report so you may wish to bookmark these playlists.
Readers and viewers wishing to experience the entire event are encouraged to view the Conference Whispers: Put Data First Playlist in its entirety. The playlist will be sited in the end screen, description, and as a pinned comment of the video edition.

The video edition will conclude with gratitude towards those that contributed and a montage of responses to Question 4, “What’s the best part about attending the combination event live in Vegas?”

Vendors and Demos

As mentioned earlier, Put Data First vendors didn’t just show up, but showed up with demonstrations many of which we were able to capture. Kicking things off as many do with an Agentic Workshop for your leadership teams to get your organization on the right path. Led by established AI author, Neil W. Smith, his demonstrations were live conversations with those that attended and at the round tables.

Putting data first, we will start with Mend.io whose platform can secure you application data. The demonstration shows how they help organizations pull back the shadows hiding what AI platforms are being leveraged withing their organizations. The platform monitors vulnerabilities in agentic and generative systems and tests them to ensure resilience against both known and emerging threats.

If you are seeking to secure you environment, above and beyond and including the latest threats? SafeBreach shared the details of their breach and attack platform. During their demonstration, their shared how one could drill into the various aspects of the score to identify the exact weakness to address. Not only were automated updated possible, but one could simulate a red team or blue team against their environment.

Enjoying all the newest forms of AI and convinced you want your own enterprise agentic solution? Lucky for you AnswerRocket was their to answer your need. If you have never seen or thought of the enterprise use case for the power of agentic AI, do enjoy their demo of its power.

Finally, and perhaps the star of the show, are you tired of your generative models hallucinating? Interested in a fact-based model? Well established deep-learning expert Herb Roitblat, Ph.D. was there to share Reliath AI. The demonstration of his fact-based system quickly reveal the differences behind his straight forward concept. Answer based on building up from known facts. I look forward to watching how fast and far they can run and to discover where it shines most.

Either way, fact-based models will be a critical model type to leverage in solutions that must be relied upon. Experienced AI solution developers know it’s not about a single model. The product/end result is about how a combination of models, methods, and agents are orchestrated to deliver the desired customer experience and required business outcomes that matter most.

If you are embarking on any type of data journey, be sure to schedule your inquiry with your TBW Advisors LLC analysts. You can leverage our first-hand experience through-out your transformation and future proofing processes.

Next Year’s Conference

We do not have exact dates for Put Data First 2026 at the time of publication; however, it is scheduled to be mid-to-late July 2026 in Las Vegas.

Evaluation and recommendation of these vendors are beyond the scope of this specific research document. Other examples products in the same category may have also been on display.

Conference Vibe

After 45 minutes of content and over segments of content including a livestream, 9,000 steps and over a dozen fact checks, our coverage of Money 20/20 USA 2025 closes. Registration was quite efficient and breakfast was waiting in expo hall when over 11,000 fintech experts arrived. The event featured over 630 speakers and 300 exhibits.

The Intuit Dome

Money 20/20 changed ownership since last year’s event as such it is always critical to receive clarity on what is allowed to be captured on video within the limits of the press pass to ensure retaining current and future access. While we unfortunately did not receive such clarity, we were able to obtain an exclusive session summary on the session regarding the technology at The Intuit Dome. Known as the home to the NBA team The Clippers in Los Angeles California. the site is technically exciting. As Globant’s Peter Mikeal explained, their face ID authentication and payment system is an integrated and seamless user experience.

Exhibits

Alacriti is redefining and modernizing the approach to the money and movement process with their intelligent platform. Connected to all certified rails, tightly integrated with all your fraud solutions, and the core banking systems for ledger postings – if a unified money movement platform sounds interesting, they would love to hear from you.

Automation and scale a concern for your financial services? AutoRek specializes in your pain point. Stopping fraud keeping you up at night? IPQS integrated platform even provides residential proxy identification pathology! Defence in depth is always valuable. Concerned with having something for fraud prevention that operates in real time? UMCA Tech shines protection in exactly that dark vulnerability corner.

Performance and the ability to do massive amounts of agentic and generative AI on your mind? Want to make sure the cloud you choose has a GPU infrastructure ready to tackle your problem? Oracle wants to advise you, they already knew you were coming and are ready. Seeking global expansion, Korea Fintech Financial Services Commission brought a handful of start-ups to Vegas for global exposure.

Fintech is no different than many other sectors. Organizations are tired from transforming every 2 years. Executives and strategists have turned towards the trend of future proofing. Future Proofing involves taking a longer, more strategic look over your processes, plans, and investments. Executives looking to future-proof their verification process should take a close look at Veratad. Does your vendor search list include finding a go-to-market data solution provider? Zoominfo shared their unique capabilities with TBW Advisors LLC just for you. Seeking a near shore, global, financial services organization? Globant, isn’t just another vendor, they earlier brought us their story of success at The Intuit Dome. If your organization is seeking to transform or future proof, be sure to schedule your inquiry with your analyst even if the work is outsourced.

Next Year’s Conference

The 2026 USA Edition of Money 20/20 dates will return to the Venetian on October 18-21, 2026.

Conference Vibe

After 6,000 steps, 36 videos and over 40 minutes of video including a livestream from onsite and over 10 fact checks, our coverage of MWC Las Vegas also known as MWC25 closes. Coming from the mobility world with specialized expertise in Privacy, at TBW Advisors LLC we understand mobile applications are data goldmines. As such, we do not use event mobile applications. However, at MWC the mobile app was required to enter the 6^th floor of the Fontainebleau. After getting through that checkpoint, registration was quite efficient with no significant registration lines. The 85 sponsors lit up expo hall where they also served some scrumptious food. As MWC was hosted in one of the most elite hotels in Las Vegas, we were admittedly excited to hear what the guests thought of the food. Breakfast got rave reviews even though it was an English muffing egg sandwich. Lunch offered both a cold sandwich option, extensive dessert options, and a hot lunch offering that admittedly smelled like you were at Grandma’s house! It just had the home cooked smell, look, and feel but you can see for yourself!

We once again live streamed from onsite Tuesday. During this quicker live stream, I requested those attending to find me to answer Questions 1-3, to let you know about upcoming events we have scheduled and requesting assistance. Specifically, I requested assistance on your favorite videos for my segment on the October 17th broadcast edition of Computer Talk Radio.

While at MWC 2025, we conducted research for three additional forthcoming Whisper Reports for our clients. The playlists are unlisted but available and will eventually fill in with the video version of the report so you may wish to bookmark these playlists.
Readers and viewers wishing to relive or experience the entire event are encouraged to view the Conference Whispers: MWC 2025 Playlist in its entirety. The playlist will be sited in the end screen, description, and as a pinned comment of the video edition.

The video edition will conclude with gratitude towards those that contributed and a montage of their responses to Question 4, “What’s the best part about attending MWC live in Vegas?”.

Opening Keynotes

At MWC Las Vegas we were informed that they had a special platform I could use to record, but only at keynotes. After recording we were informed that we could post and include a highlight of the various keynotes. Thus, this event’s opening keynote session videos are all processed highlight videos of what we captured. CTIA stands for Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association and is the sponsoring organization along with GSMA the GSM Association. GSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communications. Therefore, within telecommunications, this is a specialty event for mobile and wireless telecommunications. CTIA’s President and CEO, Ajit Pai’s keynote emphasized the importance of governments unlocking spectrum so their industry can unlock success for our country. His speech was followed by a fireside chat he had with Verizon Business CEO Kyle Malady. Building on the same theme, their chat emphasized that capacity drives growth for businesses. After their chat, Google Cloud’s Anil Jain joined the stage for a roadmap to an autonomous organization. Anil remained on stage and was joined by a star-studded stage for their panel on first-hand knowledge from the frontier. It is no surprise that the tried-and-true advice for transformation has remained the same for the next wave. Get buy in from the top. If your organization is approaching or in the midst or even thinking about a transformation – be sure to schedule your inquiry with your TBW Advisors’ Analyst to review your strategy and plans.

Exhibits

During our Earth Day Panel, TBW Advisors LLC emphasized that data centers and many IoT solution always involve seeking power solutions. At MWC we ran into none other than Schneider Electric ready to solve your power management problems. For organizations prioritizing hardware agnostic IoT solutions, Live4IoT would like to share hardware and carrier agnostic IoT platform with you. Comfone is redefining what it means and more importantly costs to Roam with their eSIM. Simply need 4g and 5g equipment; Baicells may align with your interests. However, if locating a master distributor for anything cellular is part of your current focus, GetWireless is among the few.

Whether your government use case demands it or you just need a small remote server for compliance as discussed in our coverage of G2E, they were found at MWC complete with telecommunications access. Kontron was on the floor with their 5g modules integrated into servers. Seeking a rugged portable network in a box for any type of network connection? Eucast showcased their network in a box offering enabling many critical use cases. If your uses case is so mission critical that it requires bounded latency with a deterministic network? Good news! Canoga Perkins showcased their bounded latency deterministic network equipment here in Vegas.

Next Year’s Conference

MWC Las Vegas 2026 dates are yet to be announced.

After 15,000 steps, 81 videos, and over 75 minutes of video including 2 livestreams and over 20 fact checks, our coverage of Global Gaming Expo better known as G2E 2025 closes. Registration moved quickly as the nearly 25,000 attendees waited for expo hall to open! While we did not get clearance in writing to record any sessions or keynotes, we were able to get permission to capture Expo Hall. In fact, our favorite quote of the event described expo hall as having ‘some incredibly impressive booths’. See for yourself as you enjoy our walkabout. The usual Venetian eateries were available including the café, the food marketplace and the bistro!

We once again live streamed from on site. On Tuesday requesting those attending to find me to answer Questions 1-3, and Wednesday to let you know about upcoming events we have scheduled and to introduce all to TBW Advisors LLC, and requesting assistance. Specifically, I requested assistance on your favorite videos for my segment on the October 10th broadcast edition of Computer Talk Radio.

While at G2E 2025, we conducted research for three additional forthcoming Whisper Reports for our clients. The playlists are unlisted but available and will eventually fill in with the video version of the report so you may wish to bookmark these playlists.

After 79 videos and 175 minutes of video including 3 livestreams and over 45 fact checks, out coverage of Commercial UAV Expo 2025 closes. CUAV brought together over 3393 drone enthusiasts from over 62 countries. Registration had no lines whatsoever. We were able to capture the lunch served on Wednesday as well as breakfast on Thursday. This time we once again tried out the live streams with one on Tuesday requesting those attending to find me to answer Questions 1-3, Wednesday to let you know about upcoming events we have scheduled, as well as Thursday from Expo hall itself requesting assistance. Specifically I requested assistance on your favorite videos for my segment on the September 6^th broadcast edition of Computer Talk Radio.

While at Commercial UAV Expo 2025, we conducted research for three additional forthcoming Whisper Reports for our clients. The playlists are unlisted but available and will eventually fill in with the video version of the report so you may wish to bookmark these playlists.
Readers and viewers wishing to experience the entire event are encouraged to view the Conference Whispers: Commercial UAV Expo 2025 Playlist in its entirety. Once the video edition is available, the playlist will be sited as a pinned comment on the video edition. It is also easy to locate any previous Conference Whispers playlists through TBW Advisors LLC corporate website.

Keynotes and Sessions

At the Commercial UAV Expo we were excited we could cover the keynotes this year. The opening monologue set the stage. Buzz Solutions Kaitlyn Albertoli kicked off the event with 5 tips for overcoming inaction in your drone problem. This was followed by a great case study fireside chat with her client Dominion Energy. Dominion’s Thomas F. Butler emphasized that collaboration is the key to success. This was followed by a fascinating case study of how drones were used to capture the stunning beauty of the Grand Canyon.

Commercial UAV Expo’s team content manager, Matt Collins welcomed all back on Thursday morning. The Keynote panel was hosted by Cyberhawk’s CEO Chris Fleming. Collaboration was the key emphasis and produced one of our favorite quotes of the event. “Safety is not Proprietary”. The session also provided many insights for succeeding with FAA paperwork be it waivers or permits. The morning keynote was concluded with the awarding of the 2025 Eric Talley Memorial Award to Officer Matt Rowland.

DRONES

When one attends a Commercial UAV expo, it is not unusual to see a lot of drones including a variety of specialty drones. IPET drones’ propellers and motors come as a set, easily snap on and off, and are notoriously quiet. These propellers also enable very quick maintenance. If you are seeking a variety of drones including nano drones, Ascent Aviation shared their wares. Need to cover remote areas? Starling’s drone in a box even can automatically manage between the three batteries possible in the box with the drone. Perhaps you need to deal with the chemicals of agriculture? Central UAS drones are specifically designed to handle the agricultural and pest spray space. If chain of custody regarding the cargo for applications such as medical deliveries, blueflite drones have you covered. Heavy cargo? FlyingBasket can handle 100 kilo cargo with a 200-kilo capable drone coming by year’s end. Parallel Flight Technologies are hybrid drones and can handle 100 pounds for 1.4 hours or 50 pounds for almost 3 hours. Finally if you want a tethered drone or want to convert your drone to a tethered drone, ELISTAIR came to Vegas all the way from France share their solution.

If you were seeking a distributor for drones, there were a number of options on site. One example was Frontier that represents product lines from over 40 different manufacturers. Another example was Multicopter. They consider themselves a drone provider with their advantage being NOT offering services. This eliminates competing with the manufacturers themselves. They enjoyed speaking both with drone manufacturers on site as well as customers seeking a great source to purchase their enterprise drones.

Finally, one of the great challenges for all drone manufacturers is testing their drones. Filing all that paperwork and enduring the FAA delays can interfere with business. Ukraine, represented by their San Fransico Consulate, Consul General Dmytro Kushneruk wanted drone manufacturers to know that you are welcome in Ukraine. Unlike the US, it is only a matter of a few weeks to get approval for testing. They also have scenarios not generally available. This has resulted in over 2,000 drone producers coming out of Ukraine.

Communications

A universal need for drones is the ability to communicate either back to their controller or back to the enterprise. Teal.io specializes in mission critical infrastructure. With one SIM card you can connect to 100’s a networks via a single pane of glass including the ability to switch networks. GEODNET represents the largest RTK network – real-time kinematics makes GPS significantly more accurate which is required with drones. If you are concerned about GPS getting jammed, TUALCOM operates in anti-jam, electronic warfare, data links, flight termination, terrestrial navigation, and 4G and 5G as well as telemetry devices. Of course, alternatively one could leverage Anello Photonics’ World’s smallest optical gyroscope to ensure your navigation in the event GPS is blocked, spoofed or jammed. This year they brought their new maritime solution to expo hall.

Components

As many drone manufacturers are gathering, those creating components and parts for drone those very manufacturers are also exhibiting. On the power side, if you are familiar with the benefits and challenges of hydrogen, H2MOF does not store it as a gas or liquid – enjoy their video to learn more! Do you want to further reduce the weight of your aircraft? Are you hoping to save a little money over carbon fibre? Mag Materials, a magnesium specialist, may be the vendor you have been looking for. If you need LiDAR sensors but could use help on the entire end to end picture? Green Valley International is looking forward to speaking with you. Finally, if your drones deal with harsh, hot environments? Pelican Wire has heat resistant custom wire to fit your needs. In fact, they had three different types of specialized wire on display. In addition to the heat resistant, they shared their Thermocouple/RTD wires which measure temperature, resistance wires that generates heat, and various other custom engineered wire solutions for specific customer applications.

Compliance

With the October 6, 2025, deadline to comment on Part 108 for the FAA’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking fast approaching – it was the talk of the town. We were able to capture an exclusive summary of the panel discussing everyone’s primary concerns. This conversation highlighted many areas of concern and critical tips to ensure your comments are counted and matter. Once 108 passes, many drone manufacturers may be seeking components that can enable compatibility with the rules. To that end, uAvioni has been developing technology aligned with the proposed rules and is ready to serve. Part 108 is all about making the skies safe and enabling objects to navigate amongst each other. For pilots have concerns, DSPA – drone service providers alliance -is a group advocating exclusively on behalf of pilots on the local and national level.

Drone Operations

At the enterprise level, drone operations require a lot of strategic thought, planning and technology. We first heard of the enterprise AI powered visual intelligence of Buzz Solutions during the keynote. The emphasis is always getting all of the information out of the data you can for all the use cases available for a given data set. Collect once, use many times was a common theme at the event this year. AirData provides a fleet management solution to manage all your UAS fleets, pilots, certifications, checklists and the likes. If your industry requires the handling of special care cargo, Apco Defence has a highly innovative drone recovery systems with technology to provide a soft landing. If your challenge is understand where that fleet of drones and aircraft are flying, ALOFT can enable you to visualize your airspace.

Frequently, drones are requested in locations a great distance from population making them difficult jobs to accept. Some drone operators got together with Custome Trailers to create a remote operating hub for drone operators. The result is Drone Pro Trailer and the Drone Ops Company.

Pilots are a required part of every organization. If you want enable them to virtually practice, Zepher has your covered over a large variety of aircraft. Looking to prepare your pilots for certifications? USI shared their enterprise solution. Expanding the team? The Neuro Diversity Works organization may have just the talent you are seeking!

Next Year’s Conference

Commercial UAV Expo 2026 will once again return to Las Vegas and will be held at Caesars Forum on September 1-3, 2026.

How can telemedicine be optimized to improve patient care??

We took the most frequently asked and most urgent technology questions straight to the health systems technology experts gathering at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) 2025 Global Health Conference and Exhibition or HIMSS25 for short. This Whisper Report addresses the question regarding how can telemedicine be optimized to improve patient care? Figure 1 depicts two patient care optimizations one can expects from telemedicine.

Patient Experience

The first benefit many expect to experience with telemedicine is the patient experience. For example, when getting test results, AI can be leveraged for the benefit of the patient to find a doctor. As Aisera’s Daniel Caravajal suggest, “I get my test results it can recommend me doctor that’s specific on that area right and it can book the appointment right it can coordinate the calendars and basically made that experience a lot faster a lot seamless and easier to kind of interact with.” Caravajal further suggests AI can help the patient understand the results. “let’s say you get your test results. We can analyze them and give you suggestions that is the unique part about a genetic AI is not only delivering a unique use case but it’s also understanding the situation. It’s understanding the intent and making further suggestions.” Valuable to note that it is always best to confirm any such information with your actual practitioner! MinttiHealth’s Xiaoqian Zou suggests telemedicine technology can, “give everyone access to the easy health care solution and service.”

Continuity of Care

A critical part of the patient experience that also affects the medical care is that of continuity of care.

As Alexander Group’s Tray Chamberlin advised, “what we think is probably the next evolution in tele medicine is that continuity of care where you’re really thinking about a patient across the entire life cycle be it acute to Post Acute to maybe even home health and integrating that tele medicine it more so that the date and Records can still communicate and we understand the holistic patient Journey.” The significant benefit of telemedicine as Chamberlin further observed, “we’re also meeting the patient where they are and so you know the inclusion of specialists in telemedicine certainly just from a socioeconomic perspective getting access to the right populations that traditionally maybe don’t have access.” For additional background on the benefits and current state of telemedicine, see the Press Conference for OnMed from CES.
