Shades
Forget Fifty Shades of Grey and think 256 shades of grey. That’s the power that AI is bringing to healthcare in general and tackling the Coronavirus in particular. Artificial intelligence can analyse a greyscale image from a mammogram or ultrasonic lung scan in a fraction of a second and diagnose abnormalities far more accurately than a radiologist. What’s more, AI is not necessarily about replacing doctors and nurses. In fact, a recent survey by MIT and GE found nearly half of U.S. healthcare professionals said AI is boosting their ability to spend time with and provide care to patients.
