Increasing access and equity in healthcare through AI - MedCity News

One of the racial disparities long seen in healthcare lies in minority races returning less frequently for follow-up appointments. AI and remote patient monitoring can be powerful tools to give providers insight into the day-to-day factors impacting a patient's health. Advanced algorithms can process large data sets including clinical and socioeconomic information to give a holistic view of the individual, and AI has the ability to suggest what approaches will work most successfully to not only get patients activated, but keep them engaged. With the ability to collect data from patient devices and more, AI and patient monitoring provide additional data sources to refine the patient experience, including prime times for engagement – such as attending critical follow-up appointments.
