Machine Learning and Digital Health Applications -

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to solve complex problems has risen dramatically in the last several years. In 2017, Gartner identified more than 1,000 application and platform vendors claiming to offer some form of AI in their products. Start-ups and established companies in nearly every industry have driven this growth by finding creative ways to apply machine learning, a technique that involves using large data sets to train algorithms to assist with tasks that—until recently were exclusively performed by humans.
