How Do Patients Benefit from Artificial IntelligenceBy Benedict Timmerman for ReadWrite (@RWW) – Artificial intelligence in healthcare has come a long way. The use of computers has advanced significantly over the past few years. Today, sophisticated machines have been developed to perform human tasks like analyzing and interpreting data and assisting with problem-solving. While machine learning (ML) has been widely used in many industries, the use and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare is still relatively new. It is only recently that we have seen AI move from the world of academics and research laboratories to hospitals.

Artificial intelligence tool shows promise for identifying cancer risk from lung nodulesBy Evrim Yazgin for Cosmos Magazine (@CosmosMagazine)- As artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies continue to be developed, they may become powerful tools in many fields, including that of medicine. AI, complementing human experience and judgement, has already shown promise as a prognostic tool. Recent research using an AI program to help identify, from the results of chest scans, the risk of lung cancer is an example of the technique in action.
