Broad overview of deep learning that goes well beyond use cases in medicine. Excellent survey on how AI and ML are used in many areas of healthcare.

This might have been good as a guardian long read. The general theme is interesting, but the book is far too full of case studies, and disappointingly light on analysis of the actual implications of greater use of AI in healthcare, particularly regarding the ethical dimensions of the issue. Ultimately, unlike Topol, I don't believe we can rely on unproven technology to save us. We have to put in the work ourselves.

Worth a few reads probably because it is so full of content. Unfortunately, for me, the author was a little dry sometimes and the reader was the same - even at 1.5x speed!

Well researched and indepth review of the current use as well as likely future role of AI in healthcare, with respect to the ethical and political implications. A must read for anyone like me about to begin a medical career.
