How Artificial Intelligence is Revolutionizing Personalized Medicine Mellanox Technologies Blog

Imagine becoming gravely ill and yet being able to receive an accurate diagnosis with a recommended treatment plan in just 10 minutes. This is actually happening now with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The University of Tokyo recently reported that Watson, IBM's cognitive supercomputer, correctly diagnosed a rare form of leukemia in a 60-year-old woman. Doctors originally thought the woman had acute myeloid leukemia, but after examining 20 million cancer research papers in 10 minutes, Watson was able to correctly determine the actual disease and recommend a personalized treatment plan. AI – and its related applications, Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) – are changing healthcare as we know it. The advancements made in AI will revolutionize research and, ultimately, personalized medicine.
