Today, Jon Knisley (the host of hello, Human and a long-time technologist helping companies adopt and utilize emerging digital solutions) talks with Matt Gustitus, the founder and lead advisor at Digital Workforce Solution.

In today's healthcare ecosystem, every health system, hospital, and physician is being asked to do more with less. Healthcare providers face increasing pressure to manage revenue, optimize utilization, and reduce costs. At the same time, they are being asked to prevent illness, optimize care, and improve patient outcomes. Fortunately, new technologies are providing a lifeline. It is estimated that AI applications can cut annual US healthcare costs by $150 billion in 2026. A large part of these cost reductions stems from changing the healthcare model from a reactive to a proactive approach, focusing on health management rather than disease treatment.

Fashion is one of the biggest global industries. Revenues in the apparel market are expected to reach two trillion dollars by the year 2025. While you might not think of fashion first when you think of artificial intelligence, people like Tara are changing that every day. Like any other business, the fashion industry is quickly turning to AI to make their companies more efficient, predict the future of the industry, and can replace marketing aspects like photoshoots.
