How artificial intelligence could revolutionize healthcare

The field draws not only from AI, but from all areas of computer science. Data about a patient must be stored securely within a database. Effective computer-human interaction and natural language processing tools are needed to enter the data. If the patient has had imaging tests, techniques from computer vision are important in order to find the salient features and apply predictive techniques. Information from thousands of previously seen patients, requires machine learning-based approaches.
