Let's get real: the role of AI in medical video and animation today
Are we sufficiently exploiting the story-telling power of video and animation in medical communications? What's stopping us? Can newer technologies help us reduce cost and complexity? Is generative AI technology offering all that it promises? In today's webinar, we will be joined by Quint Boa, Owner and Managing Director of Synima, a global award-winning video production company. Quint has enjoyed a long career, both behind and in front of cameras and microphones, and will reflect on what's possible in the real world, away from the hype, and bust some myths.
