Tech Talk: Emory launches Empathetic AI for Health Institute

Emory University has embarked on an initiative that aims to unite the power of machine learning and big data to transform the ways in which healthcare systems prevent, diagnose, treat and cure diseases on a global scale. Launching this month under the umbrella of Emory's AI. Humanity initiative, the Emory Empathetic AI for Health Institute will utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and computing power to discern patterns in vast amounts of data and make predictions that improve patient health outcomes in diseases such as lung, prostate and breast cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. This kind of initiative has implications for senior living, assisted living, and dementia care. It also offers another opportunity for collaboration, now in the Atlanta, Georgia area, and then in other regions.
