Artificial Intelligence improves clinical trials

In case anyone missed it: attention on AI's application to healthcare is apparently at'peak hype'. With the volume of healthcare data doubling every 2 to 5 years, it is no surprise that many are using AI to make sense of such vast amounts of data, and development of medical AI technologies is progressing rapidly. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed vulnerabilities in healthcare systems around the world, highlighting the need for technological interventions in healthcare. In line with these trends, the healthcare AI market is expected to grow from US$2 billion in 2018 to US$36 billion by 2025. The breadth of AI's application in healthcare is impressive, ranging from diagnostic chat bots to AI robot-assisted surgery.
