AI's working in healthcare

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes more of a talking point in esoteric circles, two organisations working on a project based in Pittsburgh are using it to expand personalised healthcare. Teams from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh are part of project financed by a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for six years at between 10 million and 20 million per year. Computerworld has a report that the project's taking data from EHRs, diagnostic imaging, prescriptions, genomic profiles, insurance records and wearable devices to create healthcare plans by disease and specific types of people. These personal traits are seen as foundation to develop apps, machine learning tools and services from the project. A smartphone app for people to use to live healthier lives and ward off some diseases and condition's scheduled for release in about a year.
