How companies are Using AI in the Field of Patient Data Mining

One of the ways AI is and will continue t be helpful in the field of healthcare is allowing medical professionals the ability to create treatment plans as well as discovering the best suited methods for helping their patients; instead of having to battle the tread-wheel of bureaucracy, nurses and physicians can focus on doing their actual jobs. Since we are in the age of big data, patient information is becoming valuable as tech giants, such as IBM and Google, are becoming more involved in acquiring this information; therefore, companies are using AI in the field known as patient data mining in a variety of ways. The AI research branch of the company recently launched a project known as Google Deepmind Health which focuses on mining medical records with the goal of providing faster and better health services; the project can go through hundreds of thousands of medical data within minutes. Also, Google's life sciences are working on a data-collecting initiative that aims to apply some of the same algorithms used to power Goggle's search button to analyze what it is that makes a person healthy. Included in this is experimenting with technologies that monitor diseases such as a digital contact lens that might detect levels of blood sugar.
