Intro: I'm Tanesha Nicole and this is Ask A Scientist.  I'm talking today with Dr. Gary Gibbons, Director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at NIH about data science in daily life. 
TN: Dr. Gibbons, how is AI already a part of our everyday lives? 
GG: Your smart phone it's tracking, how active you are, how much sleep you got last night, how your heart rate is changing as you walk.
TN: Can this data help us be healthier? 
GG: It'll increasingly be able to help us make choices and decisions based on prior patterns of behavior. And we're hopeful in the healthcare realm that those can be healthy choices. 
TN: Where do you see data science and AI taking healthcare in the future? 
GG: Many of the new algorithms or tools of artificial intelligence are almost getting as good at diagnosing those patients' disease as clinicians.
