AI-Powered Innovation for Primary Care.

Patients with venereal diseases, mental disorders, or some skin problems are often afraid to visit a doctor. How can we help people with stigmatized, embarrassing diseases?

 

Last week I watched “Embarrassing bodies” online. In this popular 2007 documentary-style series, Dr Christian Jessen and Dr Dawn Harper help patients with neglected health problems. Of course it’s only a TV show, but it draws attention to the fact that embarrassing illnesses can leave many people feeling isolated. For these patients we need personalized diagnosis alternatives.

Posted by Intelligent Health on Aug 6, 2019 5:21:32 PM

It’s no secret that the opportunity in unearthing hidden insights in healthcare data is huge.

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.
