Have you ever found yourself sitting for hours in a busy waiting room at the ER? It's stressful, you're in physical pain and everyone is rushing around you, focused on the massive number of other patients waiting, too. Luckily, hospitals are beginning to use machine learning solutions to streamline the waiting room process. The healthcare industry is introducing AI to combat many issues in the field. AI in hospitals can not only ease hospital patient flow, but it can also help develop pharmaceutical drugs, keep and analyze data and patient records, and even help diagnose illnesses like cancer. When people spend less time in the ER waiting room, more people can be treated in a timely manner.
