Hosted by Steve Hemsley, the discussion also features Katie Thorn from Digital Care Hub, Sam Hussain from Log My Care, and Pushpa Reddy from Planday.
Together, the panel examined how artificial intelligence is already being used across the sector and what providers should be thinking about as digital tools become a bigger part of everyday care delivery.
