The QCOR 2018 plenary session highlighted the unprecedented opportunities and challenges of using big data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to transform cardiovascular care.
The opening plenary session of QCOR 2018 highlighted opportunities that big data science offers, including machine learning, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing. In addition, the challenges to implementing these technologies to change clinical care and the health system were presented. Harlan Krumholz, MD, SM, started the plenary by noting that the digital transformation of medical records, computational and analytic advances, and mobile device revolution have transformed medicine into an information science. Dr Krumholz suggested that this shift provides unprecedented opportunities for health care to become a field that learns from every clinical encounter.
Thompson et al. (Fri,) conducted a other in Cardiovascular Outcomes Research. Big data science and artificial intelligence was evaluated.
