The Marriage of Artificial Intelligence and Patient Care - IEEE Transmitter

When something is wrong we go to the doctor and we begin what is ideally a two-step process: diagnosis and therapy. Artificial intelligence (AI) will transform both aspects of health care by adding powerful new tools to the doctor's bag. A range of diverse, compelling research projects around AI-driven diagnoses are underway. For example, an international community (including Google's Brain project) competes in an annual challenge to correctly diagnose breast cancer in 400 expert-labeled microscopic images of biopsy samples. About 99 percent of the slides were identified correctly by a project from Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
