Book focused on AI and its interaction with healthcare stemming from work in the military. It had some useful information but was not quite what I expected. I was looking for more concrete examples and current state and future state. Thank you to the author. Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for an ARC.

This book is written by a passionate, well-educated naval surgeon looking to advance healthcare practices using AI to improve overall health of the human population. There is some background information that is interesting to read. We know that a lot of things we are able to enjoy in the civilian population were initially developed for military use. I appreciate being able to read about the conceptions, and current/potential uses for AI in healthcare. Reasonably, Many people are cautious of any one system being able to access people’s information. As with many scientific advancements designed for good, there is always the potential for a more sinister use. This book shows how healthcare professionals can use AI as adjunct to improve health outcomes to the benefit of everyone.

Though there were some anecdotes scattered throughout that book, it did ready like research.

This is a good book but not what I was expecting at all. It's main focus is on the author's life, and while he is an interesting person, I whish the book description would have shown that as well. I wanted to read this book to learn more about AI in Healthcare. Even though that is obviously part of the book, I learned more about the author's CV than AI.
