Good health and well-being: summarising AI and robotics in healthcare – diagnostics, personalised care, drug discovery, and more

In December 2020 we announced the launch of our focus series AI for Good: UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). Each month we pick a different sustainable development goal (SDG) and highlight work in that area. Following a terrific response to our first focus on "good health and well-being", we bring you the first of our monthly summary articles where we provide a brief overview of the topic and some highlights from the series. With the COVID-19 pandemic dominating our lives at the moment, research relating to the disease has rightly received considerable coverage in our focus series. In partnership with CLAIRE's COVID-19 taskforce initiative we have brought you articles covering the formation of the taskforce, and about some of the research from the participants.
