Deep Learning helps researchers and medical experts by analyzing medical data to treat diseases. It enhances healthcare providers'  abilities to analyze medical images, diagnose diseases accurately and provide personalized medicine.

More practically, the three useages of deep learning in current healthcare industry are:

1. Faster Diagnosis: 
GPU-accelerated Deep Learning to automate analysis and increase the accuracy of diagnosticians.

2. Genomics for Personalized Medicine : 
Deep Learning can help in tailoring personalized or “precision” medicine, with treatments that are customized according to a patient’s genomic makeup

3. Computer-Aid diagnosis:
Differentiation of malignancy/benignancy for tumors

How Deep Learning is reinventing the healthcare industry

Deep learning uses the neural networks to increase the computational work and provide accurate results. Assisting medical professionals and researchers to discover the hidden opportunities in data is one of the best things we can accomplish with Deep Learning. The possible applications of deep learning in the field of healthcare are: 

1. Drug discovery
2. Medical imaging
3. Insurance fraud
4. Alzheimer's disease
5. Genome

Application Areas

In late 2014, it was proven that the elastic net can be reduced to the linear support vector machine.A similar reduction was previously proven for the LASSO in 2014. The authors showed that for every instance of the elastic net, an artificial binary classification problem can be constructed such that the hyper-plane solution of a linear support vector machine (SVM) is identical to the solution {\displaystyle \beta }\beta  (after re-scaling). The reduction immediately enables the use of highly optimized SVM solvers for elastic net problems. It also enables the use of GPU acceleration, which is often already used for large-scale SVM solvers. The reduction is a simple transformation of the original data and regularization constants into new artificial data instances and a regularization constant that specify a binary classification problem and the SVM regularization constant. 
Here,  y 2 consists of binary labels -1,1 . When 2p>n it is typically faster to solve the linear SVM in the primal, whereas otherwise the dual formulation is faster. The authors referred to the transformation as Support Vector Elastic Net (SVEN),
