AI is often proposed as a way to perform tasks and processes quickly and accurately. There are even surprising applications within the healthcare industry that can help improve the patient experience and ensure accuracy when it comes to diagnosis. Here are just a few ways that AI can help medical professionals provide top-quality care to patients.
Bone fractures are easy to overlook, and labor shortages in the healthcare industry can mean fewer x-ray techs to review scans. Early research indicates that AI can be beneficial in reading scans, and in many cases, can accurately detect fractures that may otherwise go missed. However, medical professionals emphasize the importance of proper training to ensure the technology is employed correctly.
Identifying signs of a stroke in a patient as soon as possible is crucial to a good recovery. The sooner treatment is received, the better the prognosis is for the patient, as every second counts with strokes. A new AI software is proving quite capable of identifying stroke signs in brain scans, and is doing so in an efficient manner, which means doctors can provide a suitable treatment early.
Early disease detection can have a profound impact on a patient’s outlook. However, many diseases and conditions don’t cause symptoms until the illness has advanced. With AI, it may be possible to detect conditions like kidney disease, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and many others at a time when severe effects can still be prevented. Research into AI disease detection is currently ongoing and medical professionals are applying the technology to thousands of diseases to determine its efficacy.
