The Next Healthcare Revolution Will Have AI at Its Center

The global pandemic has heightened our understanding and sense of importance of our own health and the fragility of healthcare systems around the world. We've all come to realize how archaic many of our health processes are, and that, if we really want to, we can move at lightning speed. This is already leading to a massive acceleration in both the investment and application of artificial intelligence in the health and medical ecosystems. Modern medicine in the 20th century benefited from unprecedented scientific breakthroughs, resulting in improvements in every aspect of healthcare. As a result, human life expectancy increased from 31 years in 1900 to 72 years in 2017.
