"Can machines think?"

It has been a question that has been asked ever since Alan Turing came up with the first machines that we would become known as "computers" in the early 1950s. In Quantum Care: A Deep Dive into AI for Health Delivery and Research, Rohit Mahajan not only answers the question of "can machines think ? " but he takes an incisive and engaging look into how they think. All with an eye turned toward how AI is leading to a revolution in the healthcare industry that is likely to prove as profound as the introduction of antibiotics or the discovery of x - rays.

We are already interacting with deep machine learning on a regular basis.

Have you heard yourself or your friends ever ask the question, "how does Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc., show me ads for things that I was only just thinking about buying?"" These large tech companies do not have hidden cameras in your homes or secret drones following you around. What they do have is advanced deep learning algorithms, and this is how Amazon gets to intuitively "decide" what you want to buy next, or Netflix "knows"" what you want to watch.

At its core AI is about learning by being able to interpret massive amounts of data and then, very quickly, being able to make extraordinarily accurate predictions based on the same. As you might imagine, that has some remarkable implications for the delivery of medicine and healthcare.

In Quantum Care: A Deep Dive into AI for Health Delivery and Research, Rohit takes us on his personal journey leveraging his real-world experiences and thoughtful insights to help us grasp how AI is becoming ubiquitous in our everyday lives and how AI and machine learning will in the very near future change the very nature of the healthcare industry.

The book also provides a roadmap for investors and startups looking to leverage the exponential growth opportunities being made available by AI healthcare solutions, particularly in the areas of drug discovery and medical research.

With an easy-to-read style, Rohit makes once science fiction concepts such as quantum computers and digital replicas of human organs understandable so that healthcare professionals and medical consumers alike can come not to fear AI, but embrace it and feel excited about this new world we are all soon to find ourselves in.
