However, with little common understanding of what AI really entails, there is growing fear of missing the boat on a technology hailed as the ‘holy grail of the data age.’ Devising an AI strategy has therefore become a boardroom conundrum for many ...

Guest blog written by Bendi Sowjanya, a microbiologist and technologist at B3DS Health issues affect all populations globally but the treatment and prevention of these issues varies widely depending on geographic location.  The effectiveness of health care is limited due to different socio-economic and environmental conditions as well as the ability to provide education for prevention. A key challenge in healthcare is the evolution of pathogens.  New pathogens and vector strains are emerging that are resistant to existing drugs and the risk is that these diseases can become pandemic.  Understanding the cause ...
