Application of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (I): Virtual Nurse Assistants

Apr 27, 2016 08:00 CST Updated 08:00

Introduction: The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is becoming a focal point for investment. In 2015, AI-related investments exceeded $530 million. The integration of technologies such as deep learning, machine learning, and natural language processing with the healthcare industry has been deepening, giving rise to highly watched startups like Babylon Health, Butterfly Network, WellTok, and Zephyr Health. On the other hand, technological bottlenecks, policy regulations, and philosophical questions regarding the relationship between medicine and humanity continue to influence expectations for AI technology. This uncertainty-induced confusion, or even fear, recurs on the eve of every new technology rollout, and this case is no exception.

VCBeat has conducted extensive analytical research and targeted interviews on the applications and investment opportunities of artificial intelligence in healthcare. We plan to release a series of reports titled “Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare” in phases. This article, the first in the series—“Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (I): Virtual Nurse Assistants”—serves as an introduction. Subsequent installments (II), (III), and in-depth reports will follow, all offering fresh and unique insights. We welcome feedback and discussion from our readers.
