Will Artificial Intelligence Lead a Healthcare Renaissance in 2019?

The two topics of healthcare and technology have truly joined forces together to create a revolutionary era for healthcare today. I studied Biochemistry as one of my double majors at UC Berkeley many moons ago but decided to enter the field of Computer Science & application development when I entered the marketplace. At the time breakthroughs surrounding healthcare weren't happening fast enough but now, with the combination of advancements in genetics, medical research, and the democratization of advanced data computing techniques, we are getting a glimpse into the future possibilities in improving healthcare substantially. There is a multitude of reasons that have contributed to why AI hasn't massively transformed healthcare yet. I think these are some of the biggest hurdles: Considering the marturity of AI & ML today, we've already made a lot of progress in the field by applying it toward image recognition and automating some health diagnostics.
