More Connected, Personalized, and Intelligent Care
Good technology is designed to let providers focus on the patient and their care. At Intel, our goal is to build technology that enriches the life of every person on earth. Technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are making healthcare and life sciences more connected, personalized, and intelligent.
For example, AI in medical imaging has enabled providers to identify anomalies more quickly and accurately, which can lead to faster diagnoses.1 Other applications of AI in healthcare support customized patient care, surgical precision, intelligent healthcare analytics, and new genomics research. Combined with IoT healthcare technologies, AI has transformed telemedicine, patient monitoring, and electronic health record (EHR) keeping.
Intel healthcare technologies create efficiencies that enable providers to focus more on the human side of care delivery. In lab and research environments, our technology innovations give researchers powerful tools to make breakthrough discoveries and solve some of the world’s largest healthcare and life science challenges. By working together with solution providers and end users in the healthcare community, we’ll continue to develop transformative technologies for the future of healthcare and life sciences.
