Precision Medical - Infinite Reverie of Medical combine Artificial Intelligence
Precision medical is undoubtedly a huge market, according to BCG report, 2016 global precision medical market size is more than 10 billion US dollars, the relevant extension of the market size of more than 20 billion US dollars, and five years ago this figure is still hundreds millions dollars, the market is in a very fast growing period.
Accurate medical care in order to achieve precision must be based on the data, one is the genetic data. For many diseases, especially rare diseases, finding small changes in genes is likely to find the key to solve the problem, but it also means a huge amount of calculation. This is almost unthinkable before there is no depth of learning, but with the advent of deep learning, such as IBM Waston, Google Brain, Baidu Brain, these applications can learn deep learning, they can continuously keep training, and complete early detections as well as early diagnosis of some rare disease.
Precise medical further step is the development of new drugs. In the United States, with the development of large cancer data, the treatment of cancer targeted drugs are being actively promoted to become a new standard treatment program. After all, since we understand the cause from the genetic level, then how to treat it will be the first problem need to be solved.
Artificial intelligence can provide computing power that will effectively drive the emergence of more accurate treatment and new drugs, let us overcome some of the existing problems, such as cancer, AIDS and some disease are too difficult to deal with under current medical capability. Companies such as AtomWise, Flatiron Health in the United States are already trying to innovate in this area.
Artificial intelligence is likely to become the same infrastructure as the Internet, becoming a kind of ability to be given to various industries. And because artificial intelligence itself is a kind of productivity, can be more directly combined with traditional industries.
Artificial intelligence is becoming a bridge between the Internet and the traditional industries, and medical care is the most opportunity for users to directly perceive changes in artificial intelligence industry.
