Georgia Tech develops MyPath app to help cancer patients with artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is finding its way into many areas of healthcare, now including mobile devices, thanks to an application designed by the Georgia Institute of Technology to guide and support cancer patients. The mobile app, which runs on a tablet computer, gives 50 breast cancer patients in rural Georgia personalized recommendations on everything from side effects to insurance, and the information regularly changes based on each patient's progress. Artificial intelligence could be a game-changing technology for a host of healthcare applications. Sutter Health, Ada Health, Innovaccer and QuartzClinical, among others introduced technologies or offerings infused with AI at HIMSS19. MyPath starts with a mobile library of resources compiled from the American Cancer Society and other reputable organizations, and can be personalized with each patient's diagnosis and treatment plan, along with dates for specific procedures.
