How Can Big Tech Make the Biggest Impact on Healthcare?
It’s no secret that the opportunity in unearthing hidden insights in healthcare data is huge.
“The biosciences are swimming in data. The total amount of knowledge in healthcare doubles every 73 days, and it turns out that scientists can now create more information in a couple of weeks, than they could create in a lifetime only three years ago.”
Those are the words of Toby Cosgrove – former CEO of (the) Cleveland Clinic who, last year, joined Google as Executive Advisor to the Google Cloud Healthcare and Life Sciences team. His mission is to bring together healthcare practitioners and engineers to collaborate and realise the potential that healthcare data presents.
Beyond the Hype: The Real-World Ways AI Can Advance Health
There is much excitement in the world of AI and healthcare. From the promise of mass analysis and management of patient health records, to advanced predictive diagnosis methods, it’s easy to be optimistic about the future of healthcare when you consider the potential power of well-distributed, ethically robust and technically advanced AI systems. And with the AI market looking to grow at an annual rate of 40% through to 2021, reaching $6.6 billion that year as opposed to only $600 million in 2014, the business opportunity in field is attracting a new wave of entrepreneurs, clinicians and scientists adopting AI systems into the heart of their healthcare innovations.

Where can big tech companies make the biggest impact on healthcare? Ask Dr. Toby Cosgrove
Where can big tech companies make the biggest impact on healthcare?
That’s what Dr. Toby Cosgrove, Executive Advisor to Google Cloud and Former President & CEO of the Cleveland Clinic will be answering at Intelligent Health 2019 in Switzerland this September.
Cosgrove, who currently serves as an Executive Adviser to the Cleveland Clinic, is helping Google Cloud to achieve what is known in healthcare circles as the ‘quadruple aim’, an effort to improve patient experience, boost population health and reduce the cost of healthcare while also creating a better work experience for clinicians and staff.

State of the Nation Survey: Data-driven Health and Care
The NHSX and AHSN Network need your input on the latest survey to understand demand and supply of data driven technologies to improve health.
There are some remarkable data-driven innovations, apps, clinical decision support tools utilising intelligent algorithms being developed, and electronic health systems incorporating them are being widely adopted.
In parallel, we are seeing advancements in technology and, in particular, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques.

A piece of code that’s saving real, human lives: discussed exclusively at Intelligent Health Summit
As reported in MobiHealthNews and Medium, a person can now download an app that allows them to monitor themselves for early signs of skin cancer by taking a photo of their skin spots with their smartphone.
This app with it’s cognitive code, created by SkinVision, calculates the fractal dimension of skin lesions and surrounding tissue and builds its own map that reveals different growth patterns. The algorithm checks for irregularities in colour, texture and the shape of the lesion and sends back its diagnosis: low, medium or high-risk. It correctly identifies dangerous melanomas 96% of the time, way better than family doctors (60%), dermatologists (75%) and even specialist dermatologists (92%). And all of this happens within 30 seconds of you pressing the button marked SEND.
