AI is transforming the health industry. As a society we are becoming more data hungry than ever before, and this is also evident at an individual level though our growing fascination with wearable technology and e-health. Previously, we've summed up AI and deep learning from a beginner's perspective, and discussed some of their use cases in healthcare, specifically medical diagnoses.
