Philips banking on AI

PARIS: Medical device manufacturer Philips is betting on innovation as artificial intelligence (AI) transforms the health care industry, its chief executive told AFP in an interview on Tuesday, as the company looks to turn the page on a massive recall of defective sleep respirators.

Meanwhile radiologists spend most of their time ruling out simple negative cases, and AI could help them “spend more time on complex cases where it needs all their time and effort to actually make the right and accurate diagnosis.” Jakobs said AI is not new and is already being used.
