The cost blowout in healthcare isn't due to diagnosis or care but administrative costs. All these diagnostic AIs won't significantly reduce the cost of healthcare nor improve quality. What we really need is automated administration and billings to really move the needle and that's more human bottlenecked than technology.
AI is being developed to make MRI scans 10x faster.<p><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/samshead/2018/08/20/facebook-aims-to-make-mri-scans-10x-faster-with-nyu/#5a5f7fd87a04" rel="nofollow">https://www.forbes.com/sites/samshead/2018/08/20/facebook-ai...</a><p>If DeepMind is trained on millions of MRI’s, we might have better preventative medicine.
I couldn't read the article, but I wonder if the NHS will get this for free, since we "gave" them all our data in order to train the model.
What’s next, an AI to make a judicial verdict? Seriously though, this is very exciting. I can imagine a future in which medical diagnosis is damn near 100% accurate - all you need to do is lay down and get scanned and smelled by an all in one machine and your diagnosis is displayed with recommended treatment. If treatable with drugs or molecular repair, done on the spot.
didn't deep-mind folks tried controlling one of the data-centers which ended up reducing the overall power requirements a while back ? i was hoping that they would go that route...
