Computer Vision and Deep Learning for Healthcare - PyImageSearch

Today, almost half of the world's population does not have access to proper healthcare, with many people driven into poverty because of high health expenses. It is estimated that over $140 billion is required annually to meet the health-related sustainable development goal objectives. Further, significant health technology, digital technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) investments are needed to bridge the health service gap in emerging markets. Many health-related startups and tech innovators have started integrating AI with their products and solutions, showing promise of improved diagnoses, reduced costs, and proper access to remote health services. COVID-19 has also accelerated the pace of transition to digital health applications, including those that integrate AI. Health startups and tech companies aiming to integrate AI technologies account for a large proportion of AI-specific investments, accounting for up to $2 billion in 2018 (Figure 1).
