Many of us may not realize that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has quietly established a global presence in our everyday lives. From revolutionary apps such as Facebook and Uber to mobile check deposits, we have a lot to thank AI for.
The healthcare industry is starting to witness massive upcoming changes that will change the whole game. Many hospitals and healthcare professionals have started incorporating this groundbreaking technology into their work lives, and the results have been impressive so far. Here are five ways that AI can, and will, positively impact the health industry.
Making Sense of Big Data
Healthcare professionals rely on big data to study diseases so they can try to find a cure for them. The problem is that examining big data can get really complicated and even take years to understand, so this spurs the need for AI. Using automated technology also reduces the chances of misinterpreting information and therefore, saving even more time.
Brain-Computer Interfaces Solution
Some people have had the heartbreaking experience of seeing their loved ones struggle to speak due to neuromuscular disorders. The solution for this lies in the hands of a brain-computer interface, or BCI, which takes brain signals and projects them onto an outward device. BCIs not only work to solve communication barriers, but are also being used for prevention of life-threatening habits such as alcohol and smoking as well as detection of health issues. Learn more about the various medical applications of BCIs.
Robots Helping Perform Surgeries
Yes you read that right. More and more doctors are finding the option of robot-assisted surgery attractive for various reasons. The most important reason is that robots allow levels of precision and control that humans may not be capable of. A new study by iData Research reveals that the robotic surgery market is expected to reach $7 billion by 2025.
Accelerating the Development of New Medicine
AI-created medicine will be used on humans for the first time this year. This is exciting news since manual drug development processes can take up to 20 years, while AI can get the job done in just weeks. Therefore, the incorporation of more AI in medicine development will be a huge step-up towards medical advancement. It is very likely that the majority of new medicines near the end of the decade will be developed with AI.
Simplifying the Medical Imaging Process
According to a survey by Definitive Healthcare, approximately one-third of organizations use AI to assist with medical imaging processes, resulting in more faster and accurate diagnoses.
The results of the studies conducted on artificial intelligence processes thus far give us a bright outlook on the future of healthcare. The possibilities with AI are endless. The question then remains, how will medical professionals allocate the rest of their time to seek better treatments and cures for patients?
