The United States spends more on health care than any other country in the world.
But Americans aren’t as healthy as people living in other developed countries.
Could artificial intelligence change all that?
WBUR’s On Point brings you Smarter health, a four-part series exploring how artificial intelligence and machine learning may revolutionize the health care industry.
We’ll investigate the technology already available, or in development, for clinical settings, examine the ethical dilemmas the technology presents in medicine and understand the guiderails and regulations in progress to advise AI advancements.
We’ll also hear from the people involved in AI in health care; scientists developing tools, clinicians and doctors using the tools, and patients experiencing changing technology as part of their care.
