MedTech: Transforming Healthcare with Medical Imaging AI - MedTech - HIT Consultant » ViB

Healthcare providers and their patients stand to benefit dramatically from AI technologies, thanks to their ability to leverage data at scale to reveal new insights. But for AI developers to perform the research that will feed the next wave of breakthroughs, they first need the right data and the tools to use it. Powerful new techniques are now available to extract and utilize data from complex objects like medical imaging, but leaders must know where to invest their organizations' resources to fuel this transformation. When a layperson envisions creating an AI model, most of what they picture is concentrated in step four: feeding data into the system and analyzing it to arrive at a breakthrough. But experienced data scientists know the reality is much more mundane--80% of their time is spent on "data wrangling" tasks (the comparatively dull work of steps one, two, and three)--while only 20% is spent on analysis. Many facets of the healthcare industry have yet to adjust to the data demands of AI, particularly when dealing with medical imaging.
