The Era of Accelerated Discovery in Healthcare and Life Sciences

Abstract

Technology has tremendous potential to be a primary catalyst for transformation in the healthcare and life sciences industry. Today a convergence of computing revolutions is taking place that will help accelerate the rate of scientific discovery. The era of accelerated discovery is fueled by significant advances across artificial intelligence (AI), hybrid cloud, and quantum computing combined with massive amounts of data from heterogeneous sources. In this talk, I present an overview of these information technology trends and some results obtained from applying AI and advanced analytics to provide insights for population health and precision medicine.
