At the inaugural ACCC Leadership Summit, C-suite executives and senior-level decision makers in oncology convened for strategic dialogue, engaging panel discussions, and peer-to-peer exchange focused on the most pressing issues in cancer care today. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Ashley Joseph, MBA, chief innovation officer at LeanTaas, about her key takeaways as a member of the first panel of the Summit: AI in Oncology: Tools for Today, Breaking and Remaking for Tomorrow. Johnson reflects on the challenges oncology leaders face as they attempt to vet and adopt a flood of new AI tools in health care, as well as the importance of being an educated consumer in this space.
“I hope oncology leaders took away [that] you can become a smart consumer of AI and AI tools even if you don’t fully understand AI and all of the buzzwords.” – Ashley Joseph, MBA
