What is artificial intelligence in healthcare?

Artificial intelligence certainly has unimaginable potential. Just a few years, and it will revolutionize every area of our lives.Though fear and doubts exist that AI will take over the world.Humanity prepares appropriately for the AI age. Artificial Intelligence is definitely going to prove to be the next successful area of co-operation between humans and machines.

When it comes to healthcare, artificial intelligence is going to redesign it completely. AI will definitely help medical professionals to design the treatment plans and find the appropriate method for every patient.

Here are 10 common factors about how AI will change the healthcare now and in future:

1.Faster and easier Drug Creation: The development of pharmaceutical through clinical trials, can definitely take more than a decade. This will cost billions of dollars. If made faster and cheaper this process will definitely change the world. A program powered by AI can be used to scan existing medicines redesigned to fight the disease.

2.Monitoring Health: The wearable health trackers like the ones from Fitbit, Apple, Apple, Garmin and others monitor the heart rate and activity levels. These help in sending the alerts easily to the users, to get more exercise and share this information with doctors, for additional data points on the needs and habits of patients.

3.Medication Management: The AiCure app created by National Institutes of Health monitors the use of medication by the patient. The smartphone webcam is shared with AI that helps in autonomously confirming the patients are taking their prescriptions thus helping them to manage their condition. The most common users are people with serious medical conditions, patients who tend to go against doctor's advise, and also the participants in clinical trials.

4.Provides digital consultation: The Apps like Babylon in the U.K use AI for giving medical consultation on the basis of personal medical history and common medical knowledge. It is necessary for the users to report symptoms into the app, using speech recognition to compare against the database of illness.

5.Analysis of Healthcare system: In Netherlands, around 97% of healthcare invoices are digital. A Dutch company uses AI, to sift through the data, that highlights the mistakes in treatments, workflow inefficiencies, and helps area healthcare system avoid unnecessary patient hospitalization.

6.Doing repetitive job: Analyzing test reports, X-Rays, CT Scans, data entry and other mundane tasks could be done faster and more accurately with robots.

7.Medication in management: AI Cure App has been created by National Institute of Healthcare. This app is helpful for monitoring the use of medication for patients.Smartphones webcam is partnered with AI so as to confirm autonomously that patients are taking their prescriptions that is helpful to manage their condition.The most common users of this could be people having a serious medical condition, patients having the tendency to go against doctor's advice and also the participants in clinical trials.

8.Consuming accurate medicines: With the help of AI, body scans can easily spot cancer and vascular disease early, thus predicting the health issues which people are likely to face based on their genetics and provide accurate medical treatment.   

9.Treatment design: AI ideally helps in analyzing data, like notes and reports from a patient's file.This is helpful for selecting the accurate and individually customized treatment path.

10. Virtual Nursing: Developed by a Start-Up Sense.ly, the digital nurse assists people to monitor patients conditions, and do follow up treatment, in between the doctor's visits.This whole process uses machine learning so as to support patients, specializing in chronic illness.     

What's the best time to use Artificial Intelligence?

If the specialist is not there, AI democratizes the healthcare knowledge. The healthcare solution varies from patient to patient, with the use of AI you can offer the patients a truly personalized healthcare.

AI enhances cybersecurity

The healthcare sector is the victim of cyber-attacks. AI helps in tracking and locating the behavior of an attacker, inside the network, even before the data breach occurs. In recent times there has been an increasing need for automating security in the healthcare system. The traditional manual process is unable to respond to it in a timely manner.

AI and its future in healthcare

AI is an ideal platform that enables a continual healthcare innovation.To name one is the autonomous vehicle which helps in carrying out the health checks on its passengers with the control of small variations in the motions thus evaluating the body's response to stimuli.

AI is transforming each and every industry, but its contribution in healthcare segment is remarkable. It provides better knowledge to physicians and patients, about more complicated diseases, treatments, and also the results that are achieved.
