Summary

The presentation discusses how a vascular surgeon, Christopher Wixon, transitioned from feeling burnt out and frustrated with electronic data entry tools in the healthcare industry to creating a knowledge graph that integrates graph technology with health information technology. The graph technology aids both physicians and patients by increasing expediency in retrieving information and diagnosing patients. The speaker believes that graphs could be extended to represent the entire human condition, but acknowledges the challenge of building such a complex system. The presentation showcases examples of how the knowledge graph can aid orthopedic surgeons and other medical professionals in documenting patient visits and making diagnoses. It concludes by highlighting the potential benefits of the knowledge graph, including improved outcomes, reduced costs, and enabling less experienced clinicians to function at the top of their credentials.
