Space travelers, robots and, of course, artificial intelligence.
They were all on display on Tuesday at Epic Systems’ annual Users Group Meeting, held at the health software giant’s 1,670-acre campus in Verona, Wisconsin.
Judy Faulkner, Epic’s 82-year-old CEO, dressed for the occasion in a purple wig with neon green shoes and an iridescent vest, reminiscent of the fictional character Buzz Lightyear from the “Toy Story” franchise.
At the science fiction-themed event, Faulkner told the crowd that Epic has roughly 200 different AI features in development that aim to assist patients, clinicians and insurers.
“We are combining the intelligence and curiosity of the human being with the investigative capabilities of gen AI,” Faulkner said, in front of thousands of health-care executives packed into an 11,400-seat underground auditorium.
