Google's DeepMind parners with NHS: All the better to see you with

Google's partnered with the NHS' Moorfields eye-hospital in London to apply its DeepMind AI to help identify eye diseases earlier. Google's machine learning division could help curb the number of people suffering from sight loss in the UK, but it's not the first time DeepMind has been applied to healthcare; an app called Hark, acquired by Google, has been working on a pre-warning system for NHS staff to alert them to patients at risk of deterioration or death as the result of kidney failure.
