Hamilton Surgeons Use AI to Revolutionize Post-Surgery Care and Save Costs
Hamilton Business Review

This innovative AI tool, created by Waterloo medical technology company FluidAI Medical, could also save hospitals hundreds of thousands of dollars by reducing the need for certain medical tests, emergency department visits and readmissions.
