I Told You This AI Thing was Going to be Big!

 

Almost a year ago, I wrote an article about the coming wave of data and how AI was going to help us manage that.  I've made quite a few predictions in my career as Chief Dental Editor at Dental Products Report, but I can honestly say I didn't hit very many.  However, THAT one I hit square on the sweet spot.

However, this post isn't about me or my lucky prediction.  No, this one is about the incredible things that are happening in the dental industry and how that amazing AI tech is going to change how we are helping people.  

A recent article in UIC Today (University of Illinois-Chicago) discusses how a few of their doctors are using advance data analytics to improve their patient care.  The article titled "AI, blockchain and phone scans: UIC researchers bring new technology to dentistry" is a pretty fascinating overview of what those doctors are doing.

Sometimes in my career, I've seen our business partners bring new tech to the forefront faster than our educators, so it's nice to read about some forward thinking doctors working to use tech to make incredible changes for patients in serious need.
