Artificial intelligence: Big data and invisible patients - MedCity News

If the barrier to precision medicine is data handling, then artificial intelligence (AI) may be the logical solution. Machine learning and deep learning are making inroads in a variety of industries, and seem poised to have a big impact in medicine, a process that is already in motion – and perhaps not a moment too soon. "Your chance in your lifetime of getting a false diagnosis, if you look at the data, is 100 percent," said Thomas Wilckens, founder and CEO at InnVentis to the audience at the recently-concluded Precision Medicine Leadership Summit in San Diego. "There's a lot to improve." Wilckens moderated Going Deep in the Fast Lane – the Rise of AI in Precision Medicine, which combined experts from industry and academia to parse this evolving segment.
