Case Study - Discussion

    As Google enters healthcare, it’s leaning heavily on its expertise in AI. Health data is getting digitised  and structured, from a new electronic record standard to imaging to DNA sequencing. Google is both helping speed up this process by creating new means of ingesting health data and betting that it can use AI to make sense of the data quickly and potentially more accurately than current methods. Among the big 5 tech giants (Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon), Google emphasis sizes its progress on machine learning much more than the rest. In my point of view, I strongly believe that Google has a big potential to develop a lot of fields in the future, especially healthcare. Unfortunately, there are limitations to this study. For instance, I was not able to contact the mentioned companies to gain more information to backup this study. In addition, the reviewed methods has not been put through clinical trials yet. So, there is no enough studies and secondary data about it. In the future, we can explore more of Google's partner companies same as DeepMind. And we can explore more methods in detail, perhaps we can explore AI and healthcare companies other that Google, and put these companies in contrast and analyse the results.
