A number of research studies have already found that AI can perform as well as or better than humans at key healthcare tasks such as disease diagnosis. Algorithms are already outperforming radiologists in detecting malignant tumors and advising researchers on how to build cohorts for expensive clinical trials. However, we believe that it will be many years before AI replaces humans in broad medical process domains for a variety of reasons. In this article, we discuss the potential for AI to automate aspects of care as well as some of the barriers to rapid AI implementation in healthcare.

Artificial intelligence is not one technology, but rather a collection of them. Most of these technologies have immediate relevance to the healthcare field, but the specific processes and tasks they support vary widely. Some particular AI technologies of high importance to healthcare are defined and described below.

Machine learning has the potential to provide physicians and hospital staff with data-driven clinical decision support (CDS), paving the way for increased revenue. Deep learning, a subset of AI designed to identify patterns, employs algorithms and data to provide healthcare providers with automated insights.

Examples of AI in Medicine and Healthcare

AI can improve healthcare by promoting preventative medicine and the discovery of new drugs. IBM Watson’s ability to pinpoint treatments for cancer patients is one example of how AI is influencing healthcare, as is Google Cloud’s Healthcare app, which makes it easier for health organizations to collect, store, and access data.

Researchers at the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center used IBM Watson’s Genomic product to identify specific treatments for over 1,000 patients, according to Insider Intelligence. The product used big data analysis to determine treatment options for patients with tumors that had genetic abnormalities.

Google’s Cloud Healthcare application programming interface (API) includes CDS offerings as well as other AI solutions that assist physicians in making more informed clinical decisions about patients. AI in Google Cloud uses machine learning to extract insights from users’ electronic health records, allowing healthcare providers to make better clinical decisions.

Google teamed up with the Universities of California, Stanford, and Chicago to develop an AI system that predicts the outcomes of hospital visits. This helps to reduce readmissions and the length of time patients spend in hospitals.

Benefits of AI in Healthcare & Medicine

Integrating AI into the healthcare ecosystem provides numerous benefits, including the ability to automate tasks and analyze large patient data sets to provide better healthcare faster and at a lower cost.

Administrative tasks account for 30% of healthcare costs, according to Insider Intelligence. Some of these tasks, such as pre-authorizing insurance, following up on unpaid bills, and maintaining records, can be automated by AI to reduce the workload of healthcare professionals and ultimately save them money.

AI has the ability to analyze large data sets, resulting in patient insights and predictive analysis. Obtaining patient insights quickly assists the healthcare ecosystem in identifying key areas of patient care that require improvement.

AI is also used in wearable healthcare technology to better serve patients. AI-powered software, such as FitBits and smartwatches, can analyze data and alert users and their healthcare providers to potential health issues and risks. The ability to assess one’s own health through technology reduces professionals’ workload and prevents unnecessary hospital visits or remissions.

The internship is one of the important ways to learn the technology in practical way and, knowing basics and implementing them well in real life to increase on productivity. Technology is not at all restricted to one particular domain, it has evolved throughout the human life behavior. knowingly or unknowingly every individual is making use of technology, whether to using electronic databases, data analysis, apps, robots, artificial intelligence, automation, medicine or even in our daily conversations, conveying thoughts through electronic medium or machines to machines.

The education system of our country has also evolved itself through technology and come up with significant results during the period of pandemic crisis (covid19) across the globe. Adoption of online education or assessing candidates has become truly possible in presence of tech-savvy solutions based on artificial intelligence.

Considering today’s scenario and demand for these tech-based solutions for the industry, AICRA takes pride in announcing Internship Programs launched in association with the National Productivity Council, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce & Industry.

AICRA is always committed to making India a global leader in technologies, and for the same, we have joined hands with the Government of India, Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade to establish Centre of Excellence in National Productivity Council, New Delhi which serves as an incubation or innovation hub for the learners to come up with new inventions & industry solutions. This Centre of Excellence serves as an experience zone for the learner to have industry 4.0 hands-on practical exposure. The learner can enroll as an intern with us and avail these benefits of learning the technology, having hands-on practical sessions, and have guided upon live projects, through which coming up with new innovative ideas. Also, AICRA makes sure to provide a platform to the learner where they can exhibit their talent, compete with the world, become job providers rather than job seekers.
