Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Healthcare. Part 4 of 7

This session took place in February 2016. Part 4 of 7 - Speaker: John Overington, Director Bioinformatics, Stratified Medical Data mining, machine learning and artificial intelligence are becoming the most talk-about topics in digital health. With vast volumes of medical data available, exploiting these techniques to derive valuable insights may both challenge and reshape certain elements of our healthcare system. These new approaches are leading to redefining drug discovery, assisting and automating diagnoses and helping predict and prevent diseases using health record data – or even our digital footprint. But there remains much hype, confusion and misunderstanding in the field.
