Machine learning and artificial intelligence use cases in healthcare presented in the book give researchers, practitioners, and students a wide range of practical examples of cross-domain convergence. The book explains fundamental concepts as well as the advanced use cases illustrating how to apply emerging technologies such as machine learning, AI models, data informatics into practice to tackle challenges in the field of healthcare with real-world scenarios.

The outbreak of the global pandemic has led to increased awareness and realization amongst the people about how technological advancements and innovations can be leveraged to help organizations and individuals to cope up with the drastic changes the world is witnessing across all levels. Consumers and their changing needs drive different industries. The way patients are consuming healthcare services is evolving, especially after the COVID-19, the consumer behavior has changed drastically. Pandemic, changing patients' needs and technological advancements are some of the few factors which are accelerating to change the dynamics of the healthcare industry. Patients are expecting new virtual and digital healthcare services from the healthcare institutions and to cater to those expectations, healthcare facilities have to change their work processes.

This post was written by Vatsal Ghiya, co-founder and chief operating officer of Shaip. It is hard to imagine fighting a global pandemic without technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). The exponential rise of Covid-19 cases around the world left many health infrastructures paralyzed. However, institutions, governments, and organizations were able to fight back with the help of advanced technologies. Artificial intelligence and machine learning, once seen as a luxury for elevated lifestyles and productivity, have become life-saving agents in combating Covid thanks to their innumerable applications.

The Canadian Biome Digital Innovation Hub, located in the heart of Montreal's dynamic and world-renowned artificial intelligence (AI) community, joins the global network introduced by Novartis in October 2018 with the launch of the first Biome in the digital heartland of Silicon Valley. The network has since expanded to include hubs in the United Kingdom, France, India and now Canada. This announcement follows on from the strategic alliance created last year between Novartis and Mila, the Montreal AI research institute founded in 1993 by Professor Yoshua Bengio. The Biome will be headquartered at Mila where start-ups and entrepreneurs who will become partners within the Biome will have access to the Novartis Canada team so ideas can be converted quickly into solutions for patients. Recognizing the momentum for innovative digital solutions is here and now, partners will have available to them the growing network of Novartis Digital Innovation Hubs in global centres as well as resources to scale up ideas as fast as possible to help patients and healthcare providers in Canada and around the world.

Which technologies are driving the tech industry in 2020? It's been an interesting and unexpected start to the year, but the CompTIA (Computing Technology Industry Assn.) Emerging Technology Community set out to provide some perspective on emerging technologies with its third annual top 10 ranking. The 2020 ranking differs slightly from the 2019 list; what does this mean, if anything? For 2020, the top 10 emerging technologies, according to the CompTIA Emerging Technology Community are AI (artificial intelligence), 5G, IoT (Internet of Things), serverless computing, biometrics, AR (augmented reality)/VR (virtual reality), blockchain, robotics, NLP (natural language processing), and quantum computing.

April last year, a medical device powered by artificial intelligence (AI) received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), marking a historic moment in healthcare globally. The IDx-DR, a software algorithm that uses AI to analyse images of the eye using a camera, achieved an 87.4% accuracy rate while detecting'more than mild' diabetic retinopathy, a condition where high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina. For IT services firms, which are already developing AI and machine language (ML) tools for other uses and industries, extending AI and ML capabilities to healthcare is a fairly non-complex process, and comes with a large upside. Rather than doing it entirely on their own though, these companies are partnering hospital chains and niche players in the field to acquire the required domain expertise. For instance, Japanese technology firm NTT DATA Services tied up with Pune's Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital last year to use an AI-based solution to diagnose emphysema, a chronic condition of the lungs.

There is a significant difference between automation and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the medtech space. Automation, within a healthcare setting, is defined as the use of hardware and software specifically programmed to save time. AI can be categorized as machine learning, meaning software and hardware working in conjunction to effectively mimic human decision-making -- just much, much faster. AI can learn outside of its programming, and the goal is for the software to make a decision of equivalent quality, compared to a human. The use of automation and AI is integral within the medtech space, as data is becoming increasingly important to manage and understand.

The abundance of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and connected technologies being introduced daily are pushing the limits of innovation and raising expectations with every passing day. Thanks to these developments, particularly in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), we have already seen some successes in autonomous cars, smart cities and manufacturing that we used to believe could only happen in our Jetsons fantasies. These innovations are also impacting the healthcare industry. While nurses and physicians will never be replaced by "Rosie" in the patient exam room, machine learning and AI are poised to transform the healthcare industry in ways that positively impact physicians and their patients. It's been well-established that physicians today spend too much time on administrative tasks, particularly documentation, even with the advent of electronic health records (EHRs).
