Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Wikipedia defines artificial intelligence in healthcare as the use of complex algorithms and software to emulate human cognition in the analysis, interpretation and comprehension of complicated medical and healthcare data. This "emulation" is done in less time and at a fraction of the cost. Artificial intelligence in healthcare was valued at about $600 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $150 billion by 2026. Reinventing and reinvigorating healthcare through the use of artificial intelligence is happening predominantly through assisting in better diagnosis, better processes, drug development and robot-assisted surgery. In 2015 misdiagnosing illness and medical error accounted for 10% of all U.S. deaths.
