Pushing the boundaries of AI in health care

Technology isn’t a cure all for every problem facing the U.S. health care industry, but saving a doctor 30 minutes every day so they can spend more time with patients is something worth working toward. Thomas Polzin, director of natural language processing at 3M Health Information Systems, explores how natural language understanding, machine learning and artificial intelligence can transform how clinicians deliver care.

“I think, the impact of these deep neural networks, it's hard to predict, but I think it will be immense in the health care settings, in the health care documentation processes and everywhere else.”
