Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Software in Medicine

AI in healthcare has been at the peak of inflated expectations and in the trough of disillusionment. As a research tool there have been a few successes with AI analytics, but the success of IBM's Watson has reinvigorated interests in AI for patient care. However, beyond the research value to healthcare payers and the media value to IBM, the clinical use case remains unclear. This Meetup will explore ways in which other fields -- like the Department of Defense -- have adopted intelligent software agents -- and some of the challenges to doing this in healthcare.
