How AI and ML are Transforming the Healthcare Industry

Our healthcare fraternity was among the most affected industries when the pandemic came unannounced, but the happy news is that clinicians, medical providers, and hospital administrators were quick to adapt to AI-enabled techniques like natural language processing and machine learning technology to overcome manual challenges and strengthen the healthcare sector and become more efficient and affordable. In the last couple of years, the healthcare industry predicted several things – from emergencies and effective treatments to handling staffing and planning rosters, AI and its army of tools have made the life of medical professionals and patients quite simple. Besides predictive analytics, healthcare also benefited from blockchain technology which upholds patient information and protects health data to ensure the patient is receiving the best of both worlds. The healthcare industry is at the cusp of some sophisticated technological changes and AI and ML are only helping to refurbish the existing systems and improve efficiency by automating processes and helping augment the work of the clinical staff and nurses. For instance, several manual, tedious and repetitive tasks can be automated, so the scope of manual errors can be eliminated.
