Toby Cosgrove is an advisor for the Google Cloud health care and life sciences team. He recently discussed his recommendations for the Google Cloud team to pursue that would help hospitals and health care providers to modernize. He sees killer application development such as transcribing physician's notes and natural language processing based on machine learning as the future. He believes that the multi-million dollar investments in the current infrastructure that hospitals use doesn't need to be replaced. He envisions Google Cloud creating apps that work on top of the current system to increase the efficiency and lower the costs of healthcare. Automated appointments, billing and more are all addressable by machine learning.
"He (Toby) understands the ins and outs of the provider challenges and has provided context for where there is huge opportunity for back office operational improvement like billing, coding, call center, and so on, all of which are addressable via machine learning tools," said Greg Moore, a vice president for Google Cloud healthcare & life sciences' team, and a colleague of Cosgrove's. "We have to think about how these products fit within the larger context of a hospital system," he said. "How do they integrate with tools that physicians are already using? How can they help reduce the time physicians spend on administrative care?"
