Causal inference looks into root causes to address
understanding and perceptions and Why
Explainable AI ( XAI ) is Hot !
THE REAL VALUE IS AUGMENTED INTELLIGENCE
1. AI as capable ( and more capable than doctors ) in diagnosing patients.
2. AI better than humans at predicting health events before they happen.
3. AI can make sense of huge amounts of data that would be overwhelming to humans
or exactly what’s needed in growing field of precision medicine
• ML alone for mammograms 80% to 90% precision ( similar to doctors ) but combined with
professional expertise accuracy reaches 95%
• ML to personalize cancer treatment allow doctors to predict where killer disease will spread
• New #AI system can screen for neurological illnesses in seconds
• AI system correctly refers patients with more than 50 different eye diseases for further treatment
with 94% accuracy, matching or beating world-leading eye specialists
• AI can spot pain from a disease some doctors still think is fake
• Artificial Emotional Intelligence for detection, treatment, management of cognitive impairments
delirium and dementia.
• SWARM Intelligence: Combining The Hive Mind With AI For Better Diagnoses
Augmented intelligence will deliver “why”
with shaper insight, relevance, speed.

Amazon, #AI and Medical Records: Do the Benefits Outweigh the Risks?
http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/amazon-medical-records/
Amazon knows how to handle and analyze data. It’s a $3.5 trillion industry and 18% of our
economy, so who wouldn’t want a piece of that but this comes with privacy and other concerns.
Conclusion
Amazon’s potential foray into healthcare has already caused players in the space to scramble and
reevaluate their core competencies. While Amazon has barely scratched healthcare’s surface, it
has the potential to upend the space with its e-commerce expertise. Without the need to make
money in healthcare, the high margin and convoluted parts of the healthcare business are ripe for
disruption.
Amazon’s approach allows other companies to outsource parts of their businesses that are messy
and outside their main focus. This can happen on multiple fronts, impacting:
• Payers — Amazon can handle the claims and marketplace so companies can focus on offering
their services.
• Providers — Amazon can handle documentation into the EMR or coordinating buying and
transporting supplies.
• Pharma/Biotech — Amazon can run the actual experiments so researchers can focus on
experiment design and analysis; or Amazon can handle the packaging, tracking, and
transportation for larger drug manufacturers.
