Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform the healthcare industry. As technology becomes more prevalent, how will it benefit patients and providers? There are numerous opportunities to use it to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of various healthcare services. For instance, in the field of cancer and chronic diseases, there are numerous opportunities to deploy AI-driven tools to improve the accuracy of patient care.

Compared to traditional decision-making methods, artificial intelligence (AI) can provide humans with more accurate and timely insights into their clinical decisions. Through their interactions with training data, learning algorithms can improve their accuracy and provide them with more precise and timely information.

Improving Accuracy

The pandemic has strained the healthcare workforce, so more staff members are needed to provide effective and efficient care. With the help of AI, clinicians can get the most out of their time by improving the accuracy of the information they receive.

Accessibility and Care

The lack of trained healthcare providers, such as radiologists and ultrasound technicians, can severely limit access to life-saving services in developing nations. More radiologists are working in the half-dozen Boston hospitals than in West Africa.

To address the shortage of qualified clinical staff, AI can help by taking on some of the tasks typically assigned to humans. For instance, by developing imaging tools that can perform chest x-rays, they can provide clinicians with an accuracy comparable to that of a trained radiologist. This capability could be easily deployed through an app for low-resource providers.

 Training and Education

Providers need new education and training opportunities to keep up with the changes. Artificial intelligence can help them address these challenges by developing new capabilities that improve the efficiency of surgical videos.

For example, through its Touch Surgery Enterprise platform, Medtronic can provide surgeons with the most advanced analytics and video management tools for the operating room. According to studies, video analysis can improve the performance of surgeons. Its ability to connect to the cloud and record and upload videos has made it easier for them to find new insights.
