In this episode of IIR, we covered the field of AI and some of the ways it impacts life today that we hope will translate into impact on the field of health care with the involvement of experts like Michael and Tom from Vanderbilt University Medical Center.  

For those interested in some of the details from this podcast episode, check out Google Flu Trends,  Theranos,  and Deep Medicine by Eric Topol, which informed our discussion and gave us more than a little bit to think about!
