Innovation that uses S&W. For primary care applications, we are hoping to dramatically (10x) the number of residents an individual doctor can look after.
b) Artificial Intelligence (AI)
National-level innovative AI solutions to improve operational efficiency, patient outcomes, and/or user satisfaction per use case.
c) Robotics and Automation (R&A)
Innovations that employ assistive and robotics solutions in back and front room operations
d) Digital Solutions (DS)
Innovations that use technology-based tools, systems, or services.
