Healthcare Innovation Drivers: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

We live in an era of astounding healthcare innovation. Within living memory, we've seen the first cardiac pacemaker implanted and the first successful heart transplant. Measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox were, for all intents and purposes, eradicated in the US through public health vaccination campaigns. And, the human genome has been fully-sequenced. The net result of all this innovation is longer life spans worldwide, going from an expected life span of 48 years in 1950 to 71.5 years in 2014. Much of today's healthcare innovation is focused on technological advances.
