UnitedHealth Group Is Infusing Deep Learning Into Healthcare Services

In a massive healthcare organization, even a small improvement in workflow can translate to major gains in efficiency. That means lower costs for the healthcare provider and better, faster care for patients. UnitedHealth Group, one of the largest healthcare companies in the U.S., is turning to GPU-powered AI for these kinds of enhancements. In a talk at the GPU Technology Conference last month, two of the organization’s AI developers shared how it’s adopting deep learning for a variety of applications — from prior authorization of medical procedures to directing phone calls.
