Machine learning (a.k.a. AI, deep learning, and cognitive learning) is poised to reshape the world in which we live. An emerging tool that uses both structured and unstructured data to infer patterns, relationships, and rules, it’s already rocking the retail, entertainment, financial services, and transportation industries (among others). In fact, many of us experience machine learning daily in the form of targeted online advertisements, voice-to-text functionality, ride share apps, and remote check deposit.
But what about machine learning in healthcare?
No surprise, the healthcare industry has been a bit slow to embrace machine learning – and for a number of valid reasons. But, mark my words, in the not-so-distant future, it will transform healthcare.
