Transforming Health Care With Machine Learning
Machine Learning algorithms can process vast amounts of information and spot patterns, hallmarks of diagnosing patients and identifying risk factors.
Tepper School faculty are using machine learning methods to develop early diagnostic tools for cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiac disease; treat sleep apnea; estimate surgery duration; and connect health care providers and patients using digital platforms.
