Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare – Produvia Blog
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Here's what you need to know. Machine Learning is a growing and diverse field of Artificial Intelligence which studies algorithms that are capable of automatically learning from data and making predictions based on data. Machine learning is one of the most exciting technological areas of study today. Each week there are new advancements, new technologies, new applications, and new opportunities.
Artificial intelligence guides breast cancer care on par with doctors
An artificially intelligent computer system is making breast cancer treatment recommendations on a par with those of cancer doctors, a new study reports. The IBM computer system -- called Watson Oncology -- made treatment recommendations that jibed nine out of 10 times with those of a multidisciplinary board of doctors at a top cancer hospital in India, researchers say. In cases involving more complex cancers, however, the computer did not hit that 90 percent mark. Another version of Watson famously defeated two former winners on the game show "Jeopardy!" in 2011, winning a first-place prize of $1 million. It then spends another minute reviewing all existing medical evidence regarding their particular form of cancer, said study co-author Dr. S.P. Somashekhar, chairman of the Manipal Comprehensive Cancer Center in Bengaluru, India.
Why we're teaching computers to help treat cancer
GWEN IFILL: Now we continue our series about artificial intelligence, A.I., where computers are able to make intelligent decisions without human input. As computing power gets stronger and people continue to generate massive amounts of data, A.I. is making its way into the marketplace and into your doctor's examination room. Hari Sreenivasan has the latest in series on breakthroughs in invention and innovation. HARI SREENIVASAN: Advances in artificial intelligence continue to push the boundaries between science fiction and reality, like this brain-controlled device at the University of Minnesota. It enables users to fly a model helicopter with only their thoughts.
From Cancer to Consumer Tech: A Look Inside IBM's Watson Health Strategy
Imagine if you had a rare, undiagnosed disease that's stumped doctor after doctor. What if there were a single, secure database that could read your symptoms then run through thousands of clinical studies, similar patient records, and medical textbooks to present a risk-matched list of potential diseases? Just one year after its launch, IBM Watson Health is already starting to make this seemingly impossible task a reality, thanks to its powerful cognitive computing platform and a wide-reaching partnership strategy. Watson's vision is to enable better care by surfacing insights from the massive amounts of personal and academic health data that's being generated every day, but IBM ibm needs partners within the medical, pharmaceutical, and hospital fields to make that relevant to on-the-ground practitioners. It's institutions and companies like the Mayo Clinic, CVS Health cvs, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that are adapting the innovative new technology to real-life applications.
