AI: a paradigm shift in drug discovery
Game-changers
Drug discovery has traditionally been a painstaking and arduous process that can take decades in a best-case scenario. AI is now changing both how this is done and how fast, thus redrawing the bounds of possibility along the way.

AI in hemodynamic monitoring: the pulse of P4 medicine in the ICU
New era
AI is uniquely able to find patterns in the complex multidimensional data of the intensive care unit. A third of ICU patients develop hemodynamic instability, resulting in a 40-59 percent mortality rate. Advanced dynamic hemodynamic monitoring, coupled with AI, presents a perfect opportunity for clinicians to peer into the future to prevent adverse events before they occur. "Predicting the future is not magic, it's artificial intelligence." - Dave Waters
