Healthcare using Artificial Intelligence offers the biggest potential in the coming years. According to Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet and Google, healthcare has been identified as one of the major sectors for using artificial intelligence to improve outcomes, and he also pledged that Google will uplift the real concerns regarding the issues of privacy .

Ascension, which operates 150 hospitals and more than 50 senior living facilities across the United States, is one of Google’s biggest cloud computing customers in healthcare. The controversy regarding Google’s access to the health records of millions of Americans are under question for some time and the U.S. lawmakers have raised questions about it.

While addressing a conference panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos ,Switzerland  Sundar Pichai told “When we work with hospitals, the data belongs to the hospitals,but look at the potential here. Cancer if often missed and the difference in outcome is profound. In lung cancer, for example, five experts agree this way and five agree the other way. We know we can use artificial intelligence to make it better,” Pichai added.

Google has spent several years developing artificial intelligence to automatically analyze MRI scans and other patient data to identify diseases and make predictions aimed at improving outcomes and reducing cost.

The U.S. lawmakers asked the company in November to provide information about other health systems that provide information to Google, whether Ascension clients will be allowed to opt out of the project, and whether the data be used for advertising. Pichai said there was already strong privacy protecting regulations in place that provide a framework for Google to operate.

Google clinched a deal in November to acquire Fitbit Inc for $2.1 billion, aiming to enter the wearables segment and invest in digital health. The acquisition is expected to be scrutinized closely by regulators before it is allowed to close.
