Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the Healthcare industry in many ways. Undoubtedly AI has improved the accuracy and efficiency in the diagnosis and modernizing the healthcare practices. Now Google has taken DeepMind’s health care unit into it to create an AI assistant for nurses and doctors. The main aim of DeepMind is to develop and implement a system that can reduce the workload of doctors and nurses by leading to accurate judgments and faster diagnosis.
DeepMind has a prominent healthcare product called Streams app that helps in managing the patients in hospitals. DeepMind with Artificial Intelligence has been applied to various medical challenges. DeepMind along with AI and Streams has developed tools that can detect eye diseases as accurately as systems and humans and help doctors to take judgments wisely. Google’s DeepMind solves the complications in patient records by providing a secure and convenient ways to access and transfer records among the doctors. It uses Blockchain and cryptography to ease the transferring and updating of patient medical records and to maintain the security for healthcare professionals.
Below listed are few AI implementations in Healthcare:
Diagnosis: Diagnosis is one of the biggest advantages of AI. AI has helped in analyzing massive data easily. Watson, IBM’s popular AI is using cognitive technology to process and analyze both structured and unstructured data. Watson can store each and every medical journal, symptoms and case study of treatment faster than humans. It also provides evidence-based treatment recommendations for patients.
Monitoring eye health: Detecting eye problems at the early stage can avoid the risk of blindness. DeepMind is now working with two major conditions that have affected many people and resulted in sight loss are diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Algorithms have been set to detect the issues and allow doctors to recommend right decisions instantly with higher degree of certainty.
Drug discovery: Incorporating AI in healthcare is helping in developing new drugs. AI helps in predicting how a drug might affect a person’s cells and organs by analyzing the data derived from sources like clinical trials, patient health and genetic records. AI scan through the data faster than the humans.
Skin Cancer Detection: Skin cancers can be detected more accurately with the help of AI. AI have reduced the count of number of people who undergo unnecessary treatment and saves the time of patients.
Fitness wearables: Fitness wearables provide users health record on their daily activities. Wearbales with AI encrypts gather data and share it with relevant people or doctors so that better suggestions are given to the user to achieve their fitness goals.
Healthcare bots: Bot is an AI application where patients can interact with the bot and get solutions for their requests. Bots can be used in scheduling and follow-up appointments, billing and other clinical requests. In these ways bots can improve customer services.
Healthcare industry is one the most beneficial sector in AI applications. Healthcare apps are widely used to benefit patients. If you want to develop a healthcare app like Practo, iRelief or similar such apps visit FuGenX. FuGenX is one of the top mobile app development company in Bangalore, India with highly experienced developers. FuGenX develops various top-notch apps with the help of latest technologies like Swift.
