Microsoft invests billions of $$ in Health AI

They’ve failed in digital health before, but that doesnt seem to stop them from trying to get a foot in the door.

From Wired:

Siri and Alexa may understand your grocery list, but Pessin says Nuance has spent time and effort developing technology that grasps the specialized language of medicine; that won’t be easy for other companies to replicate, he says. “That process of getting the system, the AI engine, to understand the medical jargon that’s important and difficult—I think that’s the real gem.” Pessin says Nuance may be able to develop parallel systems for other industries with their own jargon, such as law.
