Google’s AI Could Check For Breast Cancer

TL;DR

Google announced this week it will partner with iCAD, a cancer detection company, to bring its AI-enabled mammography software into the world of breast cancer detection.It’s the first time Google’s mammography platform will be tested out in the real world, but it’s far from the only technology of its kind.Part of reason for that is the screening process: Specialists are few and far between, and booking an appointment only to get a screening done isn’t always the best use of their time or the patient’s.What if it was easier to get a doctor’s appointment because fewer people were going in for checkups?And, of course, no health technology will ever make it without buy-in from skeptical doctors worried about black box technology."
