Machine Learning and Health Care UPMC Healthbeat

It may not be a reality quite yet, but experts at UPMC Enterprises say machine learning, advanced access to patient data, and artificial intelligence could soon make your medical care a lot more personal. "Imagine getting an alert that tells you you're close to getting a deduction," said Mohinder Dick, senior software architect at UPMC Enterprises.
