AI in health care: Results over hype

Headlines about artificial intelligence often blare big promises and underscore the breakneck pace of this evolving technology. Within the field of health care and medical research, the application of AI is likewise focused on the possibilities – only in a more measured approach. The marriage is solidly anchored in improving results for both patient and provider. “I think there are a lot of conversations about AI replacing your doctor,” said Casey Greene, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a national expert on computational biology and artificial intelligence. “I think what gets me excited is not AI replacing your doctor. It's helping your doctor spend more time with you and less time in the chart.”
