João Bocas - The #Wearables Expert ™ Interviews Tom Lawry, National Director for Artificial Intelligence, Health & Life Sciences at Microsoft and Best selling Author & Speaker In this episode, we talked about #artificialintelligence in #health and #medicine Here are the questions we've addressed: 01:17 Tell us about your new book Hacking Healthcare. How AI and the Intelligence revolution will reboot and ailing the system? 03:33 A lot has changed in the past two and half years because of the pandemic. What has Healthcare learned from a Global pandemic? 06:13 There's a lot of talk and frankly hype about the use of AI in health and medicine. What are you seeing in use of AI and how it's being used to drive real change? 09.25 What are some of the challenges you see as we look ahead to where healthcare is going in the next few years?

While AI is certainly not going to replace doctors anytime soon, it can certainly help make their work much easier. That alone makes AI in healthcare well worth exploring. AI is an umbrella term used to describe machines that can make their own decisions. Currently, it is mainly used in computers, but it will soon be a part of our everyday lives with the advent of Google Glass, driverless cars and the Apple Watch. There are already many ways this technology can be implemented into our health care system, as well as the home environment. Perhaps most importantly, however, is the regulation of this technology to ensure it will not be abused and cause harm. So is AI really ready to deliver on the hype and solve many of the world's biggest challenges, as some have suggested? Perhaps. For now, though, even its best proponents are quick to admit that it is still in its infancy. No matter how big-picture or futuristic our thinking has become, AI will likely continue to advance slowly. One major issue that remains to be solved: training algorithms to work on human data calls for an unprecedented level of data collection. Its true breakthroughs may only occur when we gather more diverse data types for its application, a task that will be both time-consuming and costly.
