How AI Will Transform What Doctors Do

Electronic health records, patient sensors and medical imagery can provide unprecedented amounts of information--information that can improve care. But sorting through volumes of data has become a burden, overwhelming doctors and keeping them from spending quality time with the patients they're trying to help. Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing that equation. It eliminates tedious data-sorting chores, but that's just the beginning. It also gives doctors the tools to make faster, more accurate diagnoses and helps them predict problems before they evolve into full-blown emergencies.
