SAPVoice: How To Improve Precision Medicine with Machine Learning

Machine learning can be the difference between life and death. The technology, which enables computers teach themselves, is about more than who has the world's biggest AI platform -- or how well a platform evaluates cookie recipes; it could be a tremendous boon for precision medicine, which tailors healthcare to the specifics of individual patients. An individual patient's genome is a massive DNA dataset that has already helped physicians tailor treatment to thousands of patients. Using precision medicine for cancer treatment, for example, involves identifying characteristics that could help predict a specific treatment's effectiveness for a specific patient, OncLive stated on Tuesday. Legacy methods might have based treatment on the cancer's stage, which is a relatively limited indicator of success.
