DEEP MIND

A division of Google that applies AI to various healthcare problems such as medical imaging, diagnosis, drug discovery, and health records.

DeepMind, acquired by Google Health in 2014, aims to create intelligent AI systems across industries, but has made notable strides in health care specifically. 

The company partnered with a hospital to treat patients with diabetic retinopathy (an eye condition that can cause vision loss) and found its AI system could recommend patient referrals as accurately as doctors for 50+ types of eye diseases. 

The system was also able to predict whether a patient will develop a more severe stage of eye degeneration months before it happens, which could one day mean sight-loss prevention.
