Medical research and development innovation technology to improve patient health.gettyOne of the most promising areas of research with AI involves applications to healthcare. This is a field where data is ultra-important, and artificial intelligence as a lot of potential to innovate and bring solutions to the table. So in the race to find the best use cases, there’s a general consensus that the insights and pattern recognition that AI enables can help clinicians a lot.But how does this work?“The application of technology and artificial intelligence in healthcare has the potential to address some of these supply-and-demand challenges,” writes a team of authors of a paper published at the NIH National Library of Medicine. “The increasing availability of multi-modal data (genomics, economic, demographic, clinical and phenotypic) coupled with technology innovations in mobile, internet of things (IoT), computing power and data security herald a moment of convergence between healthcare and technology to fundamentally transform models of healthcare delivery through AI-augmented healthcare systems.”Certainly, many of these applications are related to genomics. Others have to do wit bringing data local on wearables for clinical analysis.What all of these have in common is that they need the right platform and infrastructure to be effective.Talking at Imagination in Action(Disclaimer: I help to put on events for Imagination in Action, with emphasis on the MIT community in Boston).At thi...
