Council Post: It's Finally Time For AI In Healthcare

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the promise of healthcare for nearly a decade, but the industry has yet to adopt it widely. Applications of AI in arguably more difficult domains, such as search, language and image recognition, have seen massive success over the past decade. While neural net algorithms and compute power have improved dramatically, AI in healthcare is still lagging behind. The big reason these domains, and not healthcare, have been able to utilize AI tech is due to the internet's ability to make massive amounts of data available. Now data access via internet technologies is finally happening in healthcare through secure channels.
