Artificial Intelligence is powering every sector, and the healthcare industry is no exception. The healthcare industry is reaping the benefits of transformative data and triggering intense development in early detection systems, diagnosis, and monitoring of patients for enhanced healthcare delivery.
The global healthcare AI market was valued at $11 billion and is forecasted to reach $188 billion by 2030.
AI thrives on large volumes of healthcare data from care providers from hospitals, care centers, imaging and pathology labs, hospices, clinics, and more. The proper analysis of this data has an unlimited potential to transform human health, yet, the unorganized format of the data collected from dynamic sources renders it impossible for analysis and transformation.
Fortunately, the road to transformative healthcare is possible with innovation driven by AI and ML solutions.
Although AI can draw clinical insights from raw and unstructured data, developing advanced algorithms is still time and resource-consuming. However, with the pace with which the market is growing, it is plausible to expect AI-based healthcare solutions to provide unmatched benefits to medical professionals in different aspects.
Where AI and ML can Help Stimulate Better Healthcare Innovation?
Early Disease Detection
Reliable Image Analysis
Imaging analysis is a critical aspect of medical analysis and treatments. However, doctors and medical professionals spend significant time performing repetitive yet critical tasks such as analyzing images, lab reports, and blood work.
With AI-assisted technology, doctors can reduce the time spent pouring over CT scans, Mammography, PET scans, MRIs, and more. They can leverage the potential of AI’s advanced pattern recognition capabilities to identify familiar features, established patterns, and early indicators of conditions and prioritize cases based on the diagnosis.
Enhanced Drug Discovery
With the help of advanced healthcare AI tools, it is possible to address the issues of drug discovery, repurposing, and pharmaceutical developments. AI can handle large volumes of critical data that aids in drug design, understanding chemical synthesis, identifying potential candidates, and analyzing drug-protein interactions.
AI’s capability to draw insights from historical drug data, biological datasets, and cross-reference formulas can be groundbreaking in potentially saving countless lives.
Seamless Digital consultation
The pandemic undoubtedly spurred innovation in telehealth, but there’s still a long way to go to make virtual visits as effective as physical visits to the doctor’s office.
AI can help close that gap in numerous ways. For example, machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) will help facilitate symptom collection using a patient’s voice.
Combined with an analysis of the patient’s electronic health record, AI can highlight potential health concerns for doctors to review. By processing information ahead of time, AI increases the volume of patients that doctors can handle, improves the efficacy of virtual visits, and even minimizes the risk of infection from physical interactions.
