How is AI Being Used to Advance Healthcare in 2019 & 2020

Machines that are able to learn and "think" like a human brain offer great potential in advancing science and innovation by evaluating complicated scenarios in a fraction of the time it would take a person. While AI is still in its early stages, the biotech industry is already leveraging AI tools to accelerate drug discovery and advance health research. Worldwide, health research is occurring at a larger volume than any time in human history. Thousands of peer-reviewed articles are generated every month – a single person cannot keep up with the constant surge of new information, let alone quickly process and integrate it into their existing knowledge base. Many biotech researchers are now using AI to manage the onslaught of data and make sure no meaningful pieces slip through the cracks.
