With significant investment in research and development being a driver for COVID-19 vaccine distribution and management, it reinforces an emerging need for AI and IoT to break down distribution barriers and better leverage social determinants of health to ensure equitable care.In addition, enhanced collaboration between public and private sector healthcare agencies will help to transform both the vaccine distribution efforts and shape the development of solutions that can impact the development of future innovations.These were the themes in our second interview in the “Sustaining the Momentum of Digital Transformation in Public Healthcare – The Critical Role of AI and IoT in Patient-Centric Care” podcast series in the larger “Public Health Trends in 2021 & Beyond: What a Difference a Pandemic Makes” podcast series on Future Healthcare Today and Government Technology Insider.In this episode, we are joined once again by Lindsey Fabiano, Global Enterprise Strategy Development Manager for Healthcare, Insurance & Life Sciences at Verizon and Dr. Pierre Vigilance, Founder & Principal, Health_Up Strategy Advisors, and Affiliate at CityFi, who also discuss how the pandemic will forever change the future of healthcare delivery and distribution.
