Intelligent Computing for Health Care: How Real Now? How Influential in Your Future?
9:35am

Intelligent computing/IC uses algorithms, heuristics, rules, machine/deep learning, and cognitive computing to solve problems typically performed by humans, as well as complex problems difficult for humans. Often inspired by biology, intelligent systems get smarter with use. While they have been in development for decades, they have only recently gotten good enough for people to notice, mostly due to advances in other industries such as transportation (self-driving cars), financial services (robo-investing) and retail service (virtual assistants). This presentation will look at applications of IC in health care in use today such as for information gathering and sensing, clinical decision support, robotics, intelligent medical devices, and advanced analytics. While many have a general skepticism that "machines" will ever be able to master human capabilities that we hold so dear, the rise of intelligent computing is approaching; and the world, especially the health care industry, is far from prepared for what's to come.

Learning Objectives:

• What is intelligent computing and how it is being applied across industries
• What are the most likely applications of IC in health care
• How is IC advancing and how will it help to transform the healthcare industry
