3 Ways Health AI is Changing the Medical Field

Whether interfering early on in the diagnosis process, managing medical data, assisting health care providers, or helping doctors tailor precise treatments, Health AI is likely to disrupt the healthcare ecosystem from top to bottom. The health AI market is experiencing a boom and is expected to reach a value of $6.6 billion by 2021, up from just $600 million in 2014. According to a report by Accenture, by 2026, AI applications with "near-term value" could translate to $150 billion annual savings for the U.S. healthcare industry. The above report puts robot-assisted surgery at the top of AI applications in terms of the potential value for the healthcare industry. By 2026, robot-assisted surgeries will amount to savings worth $40 billion, driven by "technological advances in robotic solutions for more types of surgery."
