How much is AI really moving the needle on health?

When it comes to health and wellness, most people have a similar goal: we want to live a healthier, longer, and happier life. Thanks to antibiotics, vaccines, medical imaging, and other technological breakthroughs, we've already made major strides. So it's perhaps no surprise that all eyes are now on the transformative innovation of this century: AI. The promise of AI to solve our health and wellness woes almost seems inevitable. From DeepMind's algorithms that match or outwit radiologists in breast cancer or eye disease diagnosis to Fitbits, Apple Watches, or smart pregnancy waistbands that track your health stats, the answer seems clear: more high-quality data will empower us to take control of our own health and happiness.
