Payers, doctors weigh AI's disruptive prescribing potential

Apple's latest iPhone can store 256 billion bytes of information. The Hubble Space Telescope collects 10 trillion bytes every year.

But healthcare companies have both technologies beat. Express Scripts, one of the nations biggest pharmacy benefits managers, keeps roughly 22 petabytes of healthcare data. That's about the same storage as 16 billion floppy disks or 86,000 of the new iPhones.
