AI in Healthcare
Artificial intelligence simplifies the lives of patients, doctors and hospital administrators by performing tasks that are typically done by humans, but in less time and at a fraction of the cost.
A significant Artificial Intelligence use case in healthcare is the use of Machine Learning and other cognitive disciplines for medical diagnosis purposes. Using patient data and other information, AI can help doctors and medical providers deliver more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. Furthermore, AI can help make healthcare more predictive and proactive by analyzing big data to develop improved preventive care recommendations for patients.
