What's the Business Model for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare? Xconomy

Interest in healthcare AI runs high in San Diego, which has a well-established life sciences cluster and is home to two genome sequencing giants: Illumina and the life sciences solutions group of Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO). The kickoff question: Is there a proven business model for startups that are applying innovations in machine learning in the life sciences? Bruce V. Bigelow is the editor of Xconomy San Diego.
