AI and Chronic Health Issues
Now more than ever, I see a window of opportunity to combat chronic health issues via the tactical utilization of technological advances including, but not limited to, Conversational AI, machine learning, high-performance computing, cloud-based platforms, IoT integrations, EHRs and others.
AI and COVID-19
From taking GP appointments by video or voice call to developing screening solutions to spot patients with indicators of the virus at home, a whole host of different solutions have been designed and deployed by tech firms and other start-up businesses repurposing their products to help support overwhelmed healthcare organizations in the fight against COVID-19.
The Potential for AI and Healthcare
There seems to be broad consensus among medical professionals that AI presents both opportunities and risks that need to be addressed prior to its widespread integration into the healthcare delivery ecosystem.
