12 applications of artificial intelligence in medicine

Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine are creating a bigger impact on global healthcare by bridging the gap between the patient and the provider. It has the potential to improve productivity, efficiency, speed, accuracy and workflow of both the patients and physicians significantly. According to the recent declaration by CB Insights, the role of AI in healthcare is very crucial and hence is being used by almost about 86% healthcare service providers, biotechnology companies, and pharmaceutical companies. Experts have suggested that by the end of the year 2020, on an average, a burden of $54 million will be borne by these industries to ease the life of the common man. This unique convergence of technology and medicine can help in streamlining tedious processes with more patient empowerment and substantial reduction in repetitive tasks. The standard medical practice in future would be like patients visiting a computer first before seeing the doctor. Events of misdiagnosis and medical errors would be a thing of past. Doctors can spend more quality time with patients bringing back the care in healthcare.
