Predictive Medicine makes artificial intelligence more accessible for healthcare practitioners without shying away from complex topics and controversial subject matter. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, big data and other new technologies are ready to revolutionize the way we look at healthcare. But if we want them to achieve their full potential, we’ll need leaders who understand these new tools and who have long-term strategies in place to take advantage of them.
This book will help you to become one of those leaders. Predictive Medicine makes artificial intelligence more accessible for healthcare practitioners without shying away from complex topics and controversial subject matter. It’s a call-to-action for a new generation of health leaders and a roadmap to help them usher in a brighter future.
Emmanuel Fombu, MD, MBA, is a physician, author, speaker and healthcare executive turned Silicon Valley entrepreneur. The 2017 winner of the prestigious New York City Health Business Leaders Boldest Digital Health Influencer Award, Dr. Fombu holds an MBA from Cornell University’s Johnson School of Business and a certification on artificial intelligence from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab. He serves as an external advisory board member on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s MIT.nano project and lives in New York City.
I gave this one my default rating of 3.5/5 because it’s not really fair for me to give it a rating. I worked on it, because Dr. Fombu is one of my clients. I fill a few roles for him, including as a social media manager and research assistant, but my main role here was to work as his editor.
Of course, this was also published by Business Expert Press and so they also had their own editors working on it, so I can’t take all of the credit. This is basically a follow up to Fombu’s earlier book, The Future of Healthcare, and takes a closer, more strategy-leg look at the concept of predictive analytics and what it can offer in the healthcare industry.
Because of that, it’s a little bit outside of the kind of stuff that I’d normally read, but Fombu’s enthusiasm for healthcare is infectious (ironically) and AI, machine learning and big data are fascinating subjects.
Still, I’d recommend just reading The Future of Healthcare if you’re a general reader, because this is much more aimed at healthcare leaders and entrepreneurs. But there’s still some great stuff here.
