Can Generative AI help us solve the world’s toughest medical challenges?
Researchers are using it to analyze fragmented, often incomplete global health data, mapping medical deserts in 72 countries and identifying populations that are overlooked by traditional systems. It’s helping unlock the potential of abandoned drugs by mining decades of biomedical literature and surfacing new treatment possibilities.
Generative AI also bridges the gap between structured hospital records and unstructured data like doctor’s notes and clinical reports, offering a fuller picture of each patient. That means doctors can better match patients to surgical teams, detect emerging disease patterns, and respond to health crises faster.
