For the past several decades, patients, providers, and payers have lamented the health of the U.S. healthcare system.
Just this past fall, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), estimated that close to 30% of healthcare spending in the U.S. “may be considered waste.”
Over these same several decades, an important technology — artificial intelligence (AI) — also has grown in importance and impact. AI pervades our daily lives. It powers your Amazon shopping cart, the Alexa device in your living room, and suggests personalized movies and music on Netflix and Spotify.
AI, and its subset, machine learning, is imbued in our daily lives. So why not also in healthcare?
