AI is revolutionizing industries of nearly all kinds, and healthcare is no exception. According to Dr. Mona Jhaveri, former cancer researcher and founder of cancer-fighting nonprofit Music Beats Cancer, AI is already proving effective in healthcare in several important ways and can be expected to make exciting new advances in the future.

“The most important future trend for AI in healthcare is predicting disease before it happens,” Jhaveri says. “This is particularly important for diseases like cancer, since most cancers are curable by today’s standard of care if they are found at early stages.”
