Kavita Mariwalla's Case Study

Improved Essays
Long Island dermatologist Kavita Mariwalla is an expert at treating acne and all sorts of burns and rashes. “In early 2014 she was stumped by a case, a young girl came in with a potentially disfiguring case of bullous pemphigoid, a rare condition causing large watery blisters”. Kavita decided to use Artificial Intelligence in her case to gain data on the patient. The system, which has been growing largely around the nation, allows her access the collective knowledge gathered from about 3,700 providers and more than 14 million patient visits and gives her all the information she needs from doctors who had seen the same condition before. “It uses the same kind of artificial intelligence that is used in some of the web’s largest sites; it mines this data and gives you recommendations, a bit like Amazon.com recommends purchases based on its massive amounts of data that people have bought in the past”. Although in this case it saved this girls’ life and she ended up recovering from her blisters.

Although these machines can be quite expensive they don't need to receive a paycheck every month”. They tend to be expensive to maintain with power and electricity, but this cost does not compare to the amounts they lose paying humans for the same job. Some argue that these machines are not worth using because from time to time they experience information being lost due to damage and we possibly might not have a way to retrieve this information such as videos, images, and documents may be instantly not retrievable which can pose problems in areas such as banks or health

    Usha and Manoj, 1) I am currently actively pushing to move both suites at your property at 2090 Sugarloaf Parkway. a) Second Floor 1,250 SF suite: As far as the second floor space (1,250 SF) is concerned, I continue to receive and come across rather "random" inquiries and prospects, but none of them appear truly substantive or qualified. And these prospects simply do not exhibit overt professionalism. Although there has been various sorts of inquiries, as an example, a few days ago, I've received an inquiry from a prospect stating that he is just starting out a general contracting business (less than a year in operation) and says he is interested in a lease not more than 12 months. For an identical space like yours elsewhere, I would've have probably already leased it to a small professional, but reliable tenants such as a small CPA, single person operation attorney with an assistant or two, insurance agency that is reliable, psychologist who have been in practice for some time, etc, etc., etc.,, but many of the prospects that I have run to in this neighborhood (and continue to come across) are prospects in an "unproven" business and/or lacks any traceable history within one particular industry.…

    Robert Watcher, in his book The Digital Doctor: Hope, Hype, and Harm at the Dawn of Medicine’s Computer Age, describes the many effects, both helpful and harmful, that have distinguished this age of computers in medicine. Watcher uses his influence as the professor and associate chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and his years of experience in the field of medicine, to look down on the developing world of technological medicine and offer his own opinion. Just from the title one can gather that not all is right with the field at present. His interesting and amusing narrative intends to combine the rapid development of technology, with the age-old science of medicine, and hopefully fix what has…

    Blown To Bits Book Report

    The book Blown to Bits by Hal Abelson, Ken Ledeen, and Harry Lewis has often given me the impression that this book was intended to warn its audience of the many dangers of technology, and that the benefits of using technology are not worth the risks. The book’s third chapter, “Ghosts in the Machine,” however, was different, because I noticed that the authors were just giving information about things that computers do that people may not realize, but not necessarily implying that all of these abilities are dangerous or harmful. For this reason, and for many other reasons, I enjoyed reading this chapter of Blown to Bits more than I have enjoyed reading any other chapter so far. The first topic discussed in this chapter left me with feelings of both concern and relief.…

    Hello Maricela, I too related the two court hearings to a theme. Abner seems to dislike being inferior to others, and acts out when he feels someone is belittling him. For instance in the first court hearing Mr. Harris impounds his pig and holds it for a dollar fee. To Abner this must feel like a reminder of his poverty. Making him feel, in a sense, worthless compared to the rich landowner.…

    What are we doing with our lives and our planet? Science fiction is known as the literature of anticipation as it speaks of scientific or technological achievements that could be achieved in the future. For example, the film WALL-E, which is about a robot designed to clean the garbage that covers the Earth after it was devastated and abandoned by humans in a 'distant future’, but it is still a distant future? The truth is that we will have made those possible consequences of our selfishness and unconsciousness in the closest future. Now days, we all are wishing for technology to develop faster so robots can do our responsibilities, for our cellphones to have more and more functions that facilitate our daily activities.…
