Artificial intelligence is playing a growing role in many medical fields, notably by facilitating diagnosis. — metamorworks / IStock.com pic via AFPhas presented an innovative method for the widespread detection of heart disease.
This is an apt example of the growing importance of artificial intelligence in medicine. Here is a list of just some of the applications that have been in the news recently.Deep learning can play a major role in the early detection of Alzheimer's. Scans that measure the level of glucose in the brain can be used to diagnose this neurodegenerative disease, but the interpretation of these images is far from easy when Alzheimer's is in its initial stages.
Most of these companies have their own proprietary methods and tools, but all of these programs are based on the same three-stage process: Leveraging of AI's capacity to analyse vast datasets, the use of stem cells to model diseases so as to understand how and why they develop, and finally confirming findings with a combination of computer and laboratory experiments.
