Medicine & Healthcare
Healthcare faces optimization challenges at every level: which drug molecule to synthesize, which patient to see next, which treatment pathway to follow. Swarm intelligence offers solutions that adapt to complexity without brittle rules. ACO-based triage systems can prioritize patients based on dynamic signals, drug discovery can explore molecular space through stigmergic search, and diagnostic systems can aggregate multiple weak signals into strong predictions.
