Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
The world is changing rapidly and so does technology. Artificial intelligence which was once just a word of sci-fi is now catching its speed into reality.
According to the Globe and Mail “ Artificial intelligence research leads to new applications” in reforming every sector starting from education, e-commerce, business, construction, healthcare, etc, thus impacting them to their core.
Artificial intelligence in the times of COVID-19 has had a huge impact on the healthcare industry. Thanks to AI, technical advancements are helping medical professionals to treat their patients with ease and accuracy. Moreover, a study by Statista states that the market of AI in the field of healthcare will surge up to $28 million by the year 2025.
Interesting isn’t it!
Smart and contact tracing devices are playing a huge role in every individual’s life. Such as starting a day with a fitness tracker to track morning activities, computers and laptops for works, contact tracing devices to track the outburst of pandemics, etc these devices with AI integrated into them are essentials now. Using the boons of AI in the healthcare industry is likely to bring drastic changes thus providing patients with better treatments. Patients are not the only ones who will be benefiting from this technology but it provides numerous advantages to the health experts as well. Artificial intelligence will help in segregating, reformatting, and tracing the medical data with the blink of an eye. Which indeed is one of the most popular uses of AI, but there are more to come.
So, let’s explore more about artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry.
- Smart Diagnosis:
Diagnosing a deadly disease is no more a tedious job for a healthcare expert and all credit goes to the innovative artificial intelligence that has made tasks easy to do. AI plays a huge role in understanding patterns for various diseases thus providing great results while eliminating errors. Furthermore, the usage of AI has also helped to detect deadly diseases such as cancer at early stages thus providing various methods to stop it from growing.
2. Virtual Assistant in Healthcare
In the age of smart devices where every other device has a virtual assistant embedded in it clubbing it with healthcare applications seem great. It can easily notify users about their time of medicine, appointment, etc. Moreover, in the future, it can also monitor and assist patients in the absence of professionals.
3. Digital Contact Tracing Wearables
In the time of the pandemic, digital contact tracing wearables with artificial intelligence integrated into them will not only help to save the wearer from an outbreak but will also help to keep the people around them safe. One such wearable TraceScan- powered by Face drive is launched that not only notifies about the danger but also has also the ability to be bundled up with numerous other features such as data management, access control, payments, vaccination tracking, etc.
4. Healthcare Bots
It’s very tough for the professional to be on their toes 24*7 especially for the patient who needs regular check-ups, that exactly where the role of artificial intelligence comes into play. New types of assistance are being introduced in the healthcare industry in the form of healthcare bots. These artificial intelligence healthcare bots are software applications integrated with AI logic. They have the ability to interact with the patients via healthcare portals. The main reason behind the integration of these bots is to help patients with appointments, medical bills issues, etc. Moreover, being relatively cheap is another advantage they provide.
5. Medical Analysis
With the help of Artificial Intelligence in the field of cardiology and radiology hybrid intelligence has become possible. These methodologies will not only help the healthcare professionals to be more accurate but will also enhance the safety standard for the patients thus taking off the pressure from the healthcare experts.
Conclusion
When it comes to Artificial Intelligence both the healthcare experts and the patients are benefitted. Apart from providing accuracy to the professionals AI also provides them with improved diagnosis thus helps them to fasten up their process with the patient in the most cost-effective way.
