Artificial intelligence will improve our health system

Description

Health Infomatics expert Professor Enrico Coiera said AI has already been proved to equal or surpass humans in health care with difficult tasks such as diagnosis. AI systems are able to interpret complex medical images, detect skin cancers or diabetic eye disease, he said.

AI thus goes much further than current data analytics methods, allowing computers to use data to build and adapt models for everything from human speech recognition through to complex treatment planning challenges for cancer patients.
