9 Computational Drug Discovery Startups Using AI - Nanalyze

Recently we talked before how big data is the new frontier with just .05% of all data available today having been analyzed. This means that all kinds of gold prospectors are lining up with their freshly crafted artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms looking to extract all the value they can from this wild west of data before someone else does. Perhaps nowhere is there more excitement at the moment than the applications to be had in the healthcare industry. Here's a look at just some of the startups that are applying artificial intelligence and big data to healthcare (courtesy of the bright minds over at CB Insights): The application that we've circled above is "drug discovery" using AI or what's also known as "computational drug discovery". The reason that this is now a thing is not just because of all the big data that's available now, but also because of how cheap cloud computing has become, not to mention the emergence of deep learning algorithms.
