Digital Health Talks: Build, Buy, or Tune: The Economics Behind Every Health System AI Decision

Build, Buy, or Tune: The Economics Behind Every Health System AI Decision The AI conversation inside health systems has moved from governance and validation, to return on investment.

Midori Kondo has worked both sides of this, from clinical pharmacy to enterprise applications leadership, and she is second author on published work in the Journal of Medical Internet Research laying out what each AI pathway actually costs and who gets priced out of the safer ones.
