I often see very cautious research papers and reviews about the potential role artificial intelligence could have in healthcare. Those papers come out from Western countries. Reading this paper from various Chinese groups was a delight. They describe the issues Chinese healthcare faces and encourages the government, policy makers and medical professionals to embrace A.I. as a must-have technology to tackle today's challenges. This is their conclusion: "In closing, medical artificial intelligence must be given great impetus to and deeply pushed ahead with in China. The ultimate objective is to support care providers to reach the best possible decisions for any patient at the right time and thus relieve China’s insufficient and unequally-distributed medical resources as much as possible." https://lnkd.in/gXZdG34 #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #AI #artificialintelligence #chess #deeplearning #machinelearning #China …see more
