Essential Science: How AI is advancing medical science

The application of artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare can assist with the optimization of the care trajectory of chronic disease patients; and it can suggest precision therapies for complex illnesses. Furthermore, algorithms can improve subject enrollment into clinical trials, leading to the creation of more efficacious medicines. To showcase the technology, three examples of artificial intelligence as applied to the medical field are examined. AI for lung cancer detection The science company Draper has begun a program designed to make artificial intelligence systems better at detecting lung cancer warning signs. This is by assessing medical images.
