In Kingman, Arizona, a city of 35,000 on the eastern edge of the Mojave Desert, data scientists are scarce. Despite this shortage, there is significant potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to assist with the complex health problems of patients and support overworked clinicians at North Country HealthCare.
Patients at North Country HealthCare often present with complicated health issues, and the clinic’s staff are overwhelmed. They lack the resources to engage in bureaucratic battles with insurance companies or keep up with administrative tasks that can be effectively managed by AI at wealthier academic hospitals with better data systems.
