How Artificial Intelligence is Revolutionizing Patient Care at a Clinic in Kingman, Arizona

In Kingman, Arizona, a city of 35,000 on the eastern edge of the Mojave Desert, there is a demand for data scientists to assist with the complex health problems of patients and support overworked clinicians. Despite challenges such as a lack of stable internet connection and advanced software at North Country HealthCare, there is significant potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to improve patient care.

The clinic’s staff are often overwhelmed by patients presenting with complicated health issues. They struggle to engage in bureaucratic battles with insurance companies or keep up with administrative tasks that can be effectively managed by AI at wealthier academic hospitals with better data systems.
