Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Genomics is an increasingly vital intersection of disciplines, combining the computational power of AI with the biological insights of
genomics. AI plays a transformative role in genomic medicine, a field that uses information from an individual’s genome to guide diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease
Genomics provides some of the most valuable information about the human condition present and future. Yet, is one of the least understood sciences in the medical profession. There are 5,000 geneticists in the U.S., yet there are over a million primary care, pediatricians, and specialists. How do we empower them with the critical value of genomics? Welcome Artificial Intelligence! AI brings the knowledge of genomics in context to the medical practice with high-quality data from trusted sources with record speed and accuracy. Proactive, Predictive, and Personalized Medicine is here!
