- Auto-populate patient data in electronic health records using natural language processing and auto-summarization.
What is AI?
AI is the use of computing techniques to create systems that learn and reason with minimal, and often no, assistance from humans. In some cases, such as the detection of melanoma in images, modern AI techniques have reached, or even exceeded, the abilities of clinical experts. More generally, AI has proven to be exceedingly valuable in supporting human decision-making.
What are predictive analytics?
Predictive analytics uses data to learn models that can identify the likely outcomes from a particular course of action. This can enable humans to make better decisions.
How can you help?

Any level of participation – sharing, commenting or “liking” ideas – is valuable, and can be done quickly and easily using your desktop and mobile devices.
Top ideas will be shared with leadership teams for development in fiscal year 2019.
