Revolutionizing Healthcare
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, as they’re developed and adapted for an ever-growing variety of specialized uses, hold the promise to help reshape all sectors of society, including healthcare and life science.
AI is being used to predict patient outcomes at high rates of accuracy, enabling clinicians to be more proactive in treating patients and mitigating further risk of disease progression. For example, AI may be used to better predict factors such as suicide risk, the likelihood of re-hospitalization, or the adverse effects of medication on a particular population.
AI can be used to supplement provider expertise. For example, some AI programs are using images of the human eye to provide information that otherwise would require an ophthalmologist. Using AI image analysis, a general practitioner or other non-specialist can diagnose after interpreting the results
AI and blockchain technologies optimize resource management by accurately predicting staffing needs, identifying patients who require the most attention, and ensuring secure, efficient distribution of medical resources to maximize hospital efficiency and operational revenues.
