AI in Healthcare – Snapshot Part I of VI

Of all the areas in which artificial intelligence can benefit the world, healthcare, in my opinion, is at the top. In the simplest possible terms there are two main reasons why artificial intelligence can be transformational in healthcare. First, there is a lot that is broken and fixing that can help millions of people, reduce the cost of healthcare, improve patient care, and help fight disease. Second, we need to accelerate our efforts in finding new and more effective cures for a long list of diseases – cancer, Alzheimer to name a few. Besides being the editor of the AI Post, I also serve as the Executive Director of Society of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Healthcare.
