Artificial Intelligence will save your life one day: here's why

He's deeply concerned; he has an illness that the doctor doesn't recognise. After some research online and a discussion with her colleagues at the practise, it turns out that it's a rare complaint. The doctor then starts looking at possible medications, comparing drug side effects that might react adversely with the patient's current prescriptions. But what if the doctor had a powerful resource at her disposal: a repository of medical information and insights? What if she also had access to smart, accurate clinical decision support and the kind of intelligent predictive analytics that could cut down the time spent looking for answers and help her get straight to diagnosing and treating the patient's problem…what if they had the help of Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a concept has actually existed since the '80s, but it's only now that data, processing and storage have become abundant that there's been resurgence in interest and investment.
