HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / January 9, 2019 / Technology has changed in the blink of an eye.

Concepts that were nothing more than science fiction, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are now quickly disrupting global industries with significant capabilities.

In fact, the limitless potential of AI alone is disrupting businesses, the way we conduct our affairs, and even the way financial institutions conduct high-frequency trading. It's impacting the way Salesforce.com, Microsoft, and Google do business.

Artificial Intelligence is even changing the way we look at healthcare in a big way.

The global healthcare AI market alone is expected to reach $6.16 billion by 2022, notes Healthcare Informatics. By 2026, experts estimate that AI applications could save the U.S. healthcare economy up to $150 billion, and help address 20% of unmet clinical demand. It could very well improve overall quality of patient care, prevent unnecessary medical costs and procedures while improving on diagnoses and treatment options.

It's no wonder 77% of healthcare executives are accelerating investments in AI, according to a New Vantage Partners survey.

As such disruptive technology makes its way into the healthcare sector, some of the top stocks to watch include Cognetivity Neurosciences Ltd. (CSE: CGN)(OTCQB: CGNSF), Globus Medical Inc. (NYSE: GMED), and BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc (NASDAQ: BTAI).

Cognetivity Neurosciences Ltd. (CGN)(CGNSF)was just featured a one of Forbes'top five young companies to watch in 2019. That comes shortly after the company raised $4.1 million to commercialize breakthrough AI technology to improve dementia diagnoses through the UK and potentially save $118,000 per patient.

The company's five-minute Integrated Cognitive Assessment (ICA) test uses AI and machine learning techniques to help detect the earliest signs of impairment by testing the performance of large areas of the brain, potentially allowing early diagnosis of dementia. With early diagnosis of dementia, doctors can provide quicker treatment and monitoring to improve the lives of patients.

Cognetivity's CEO and Director, Dr. Sina Habibi, commented: "2019 has got off to a great start, with Cognetivity being featured in Forbes as one of five young companies making an impact on the world to watch In 2019. Our main goal is, and always has been for our technology to help as many people as possible, and this recognition is another fantastic endorsement of our aims and the company's enormous potential."

"Users have realized the system's ability to help advance patient care and provide tangible benefits for surgeons and their staff. As we begin to scale our efforts abroad, we have seen similar levels of enthusiasm within the international surgeon community and look forward to the continued adoption of ExcelsiusGPS into these markets."
