Huge Untapped Potential of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

A lot has been spoken about the potential of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to disrupt industries. AI is already seeing a wide application in industries such as finance, education, robotics, transportation, security, and to an extent in healthcare. Today in healthcare, ML and AI application have been seen mostly in diagnostics, research and new drug development. Popular use cases being image recognition of retinal scans to detect early signs of retinopathy and disease progression in diabetics and hypertensive patients. It also serves as an aid to recognize abnormalities in ECG tests, X-rays, ultrasound, CT and MRI scans.
