Artificial Intelligence is the intelligence shown by machines that can be helpful to perform several tasks using sentiment analysis and Natural Language Processing (NLP). This technology allows machines to learn on their own from past data and the given information, make sense of it, and use this information to do various business tasks. AI is a superset of Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and these technologies have their own sets of responsibilities while equipping machines.

Role of AI in Healthcare

AI is being leveraged to deploy efficient and precise inventions that will help take care of patients suffering from these diseases and hopefully find a cure for them. AI provides several advantages over traditional methods of analytics and making clinical decisions. AI algorithms make the systems more precise as they get the opportunity to understand training data, which furthers helps humans get unprecedented insights into treatment variability, care processes, diagnostics, and patient results. 

Pros and Cons of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

While there are several benefits of this technology in the field of healthcare, it has some flaws as well

What are the applications of artificial intelligence systems in healthcare?

1. Detect signs of diabetic retinopathy

AI diagnostic system has been developed to autonomously analyzes images of the retina for signs of diabetic retinopathy.

2. Breast density via mammography

Monitor breast density via mammography to support accurate decisions in breast cancer screening.

The technology uses AI to assess breast density in order to identify patients that may experience reduced sensitivity to digital mammography due to dense breast tissue.

3. Support in Clinical Decisions

The assistance of Natural Language Processing (NLP) makes it more convenient for doctors to narrow down all relevant information from patient reports. 

Artificial Intelligence holds the ability to store and process large sets of data, which can provide knowledge databases and facilitate examination and recommendation individually for each patient, thus helping to enhance clinical decision support.

4. Enhance Primary Care and Triage through Chatbots

Artificial Intelligence assists in enabling smooth flow and automation of primary care, allowing doctors to stress over more crucial and dire cases. 

Saving money on avoidable trips to the doctor, patients can benefit from medical chatbots, which is an AI-powered service, incorporated with smart algorithms that provide patients with instant answers to all their health-related queries and concerns while also guiding them on how to deal with any potential problems. 

5. Robotic Surgeries

AI and collaborative robots have revolutionized surgeries in terms of their speed, and depth while making delicate incisions. Since robots don’t get tired, the issue of fatigue in the middle of lengthy and crucial procedures is eliminated.

AI machines are capable of employing data from past operations to develop new surgical methods. The preciseness of these machines reduces the possibility of tremors or any unintended or accidental movements during the surgeries. 

6. Virtual nursing assistants

AI systems facilitate virtual nursing assistants that can perform a range of tasks from conversing with patients to directing them to the best and effective care unit. Many AI-powered applications of virtual nursing assistants presently enable more regular interactions between patients and care providers between office visits to avoid any unnecessary hospital visits. Also there is a system can even facilitate wellness checks through voice and AI.

7. Aiding in the accurate diagnosis

AI has the capacity to surpass human doctors and help them detect, predict, and diagnose diseases more accurately and at a faster rate. Likewise, AI algorithms have proved to be not only accurate and precise at specialty-level diagnostics, but also cost-effective in terms of detecting diabetic retinopathy.
