HOW WILL AI CHANGE HEALTHCARE SECTOR IN THE COMING DECADES?

How will AI change the healthcare sector in the coming decades?

Here are some quick highlights for you – In the coming decade, AI will reveal the disease patterns which will help in providing better treatment. By noticing the patterns, individuals will be able to take preventive measures to avoid certain risks. AI will help in improving the efficiency of healthcare systems. Today if we see, clinics and hospitals overflow with the patient’s waiting to be treated. How good if technology took over the overload and put the clinicians and patients at ease! What kind of change are we awaiting in the coming decades?

Breakthroughs in data science and artificial intelligence!

Let’s focus on AI for now.

AI can deliver predictive care

With the help of AI, predictive analytics can help us reveal more details on the things that impact our health directly. Details on the quality of the air we breathe, things we eat, place where we work, whether we have a stable social and work life. These social determinants of health can long foretell whether a person is at risk of developing a disease. The risk of diseases such as Congestive heart failure, diabetes, the chronic obstructive heart disease will gradually reduce.

Connected care

What change can AI bring using connected care? We won’t see big hospitals buildings having different departments to treat diseases of a wide range. Why so? Because connected care can take care of simple procedures via clinics, one-day surgery centers, or even homes. As one digital infrastructure will connect all these locations, patients can get better care removing any hold-up. Physicians can make themselves available where they are needed the most, and patients can go to the physicians who can provide them the best care. The patient care will not depend on the location but the rich experiences it provides both patients and clinicians.

Better solutions for clinician burnout and better patient care

As we discussed in the last article, clinicians today are going through burnout. On the other hand, whether patients will get better depends on the quality of service they get. This scenario can completely change with the intrusion of AI. AI can help in administrative tasks, reduce wait times, improve staff workflows. Each patient study can help clinicians adapt so to better healthcare outcomes.

Talking about now – Today AI can detect cancer lesions, heighten the workflow, and aid in predictive analysis. That is already helping save many lives. From this, we can conclude the future outcomes as we discussed above are promising.

We have discussed how AI will prove to be a powerful aid to us in the future. However, connected care remains centered around people who need care and people working hard to provide care.
