Already the dominant force in AI chips, Nvidia is now looking to carve out a niche as the backbone of healthcare’s AI revolution.
Healthcare isn’t an entirely new sector for Nvidia. It invested in healthcare-focused computer vision startup Zebra Medical Vision, for instance, back in 2017.
In the past few years, however, its investments and partnerships have coalesced into a clear strategy, as the chipmaker builds on its work in advanced computing to lay the foundation for next-gen AI applications in health IT. For instance, it has redoubled efforts in areas like edge computing, which makes it easier to deploy AI in care settings where broadband internet connectivity is limited or nonexistent.
