Power AI that can predict diseases

The Temerty Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education in Medicine is applying cutting-edge technology to create a healthier future.

Imagine: An app that can monitor your basic health data and predict the onset of a disease before it strikes, with personalized recommendations to avoid getting sick. Or drugs tailored to your genomic signature, improving their effectiveness and preventing the need for hospital visits. Today, artificial intelligence is making transformative innovations like these possible, redefining how we practice medicine.

AI will transform how we diagnose illness, identify solutions, deliver care, and accelerate medical research. By helping to equip physicians, researchers and health-care professionals with the skills to utilize AI to transform health care, you can help improve lives around the world.
