We’re about to witness a revolutionized world of medicine & healthcare brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here’s a quick look at how AI technology is forging the path forward by improving speed, reducing costs, and empowering patients and providers alike.

Triage is an app that allows you to snap a photo of your skin to be analyzed by AI that screens through thousands of potential skin conditions. It was developed by dermatologists with the aim of using technology to reduce the complexities of symptom search.

Future Fertility

Future Fertility has developed AI software analysis tools to non-invasively evaluate oocyte and embryo quality. Clinicians can use this information to personalize treatment plans and as a result improve healthcare outcomes.
