The Silicon Valley model is to accelerate the process of modernising the health sector, or the health industry as they call it, by digitising its processes, practices and services. The new medical order is based on the application of data science models based on algorithms that build the predictive foundations of Hippocratic truth. Never before have we had the conditions to penetrate human beings as we do now, as we lacked knowledge of the data chains related to organic processes and did not have the arsenal of devices based on digital technologies applied to human health. It is in the field of medicine that we expect to see the greatest impacts and benefits of artificial intelligence (AI), along with devices from the internet of things (IoT). It is a given, as the big tech giants known as Gafam (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft) and technoscience built a global consensus that AI should enable medical research to push the current boundaries of human health knowledge and practice.

Did you know in 2.17mins you can discover your present heart condition? I think you'll agree with me when I say: Artificial Intelligence is the future of computing. The study of AI has improved over the years with multiple universities teaching the fundamentals and transcending verbal courses to real life sectors with the health sector being one of the foremost benefactor. Artificial intelligence in the health sector is gradually taking the world by surprise. From a history of the earliest notable work in AI by Alan Mathison Turing in the mid-20th century, now, we have over 400% increase in student study on AI according to Will Hazell an education correspondent in 2021.

Artificial intelligence has been in the spotlight for its ability to discriminate and reflect prejudices against groups of people, be it on the grounds of race, religion, or gender. This, of course, is a result of the prejudices held by the people behind the AI - artificial intelligence is susceptible to the prejudices and discriminatory attitudes held by its creators. Ageism - or prejudice and discrimination on the basis of age - is included in the list as the elderly are continuously neglected in the field of AI, thus excluding their experiences and concerns. This was exactly the point of concern in a recent policy brief by the World Health Organization, which warned that ageism, when exhibited by AI, could have serious impacts on the health of the elderly. "Specifically for older people, ageism is associated with a shorter lifespan, poorer physical and mental health and decreased quality of life," WHO says, adding that it "can limit the quality and quantity of health care provided to older people."

Developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have taken the world by storm. Whether for military or civilian use, the hybrid character of AI has placed it in high demand. On the one hand, the world is witnessing an AI arms race to dominate adversaries, while on the other, AI is being used to serve humanity. The widespread applications of AI in various sectors such as health, education and agriculture etc. depicts its significance in the civil sector. Since AI is invisible to the human eye, it has induced changes in how the security landscape in particular is also adopting this technology.

An internal report on Artificial Intelligence recently approved by a special committee of the European Parliament embodies a push from EU lawmakers and member states to make regulation on artificial intelligence less burdensome and more innovation-friendly. Christian Democrat MEP Axel Voss has been leading the charge against "overburdening" companies with excessive regulation, arguing that the EU regulatory environment should leave more room for innovation. That was the underlying motive of an own-initiative report on Artificial Intelligence in a Digital Age, recently approved in the AIDA committee, a parliamentary body set up in 2020, under Voss' leadership. "We need a better regulatory framework that learns also from the mistakes of the GDPR," Voss said while presenting the report. Instead of overburdening companies, the AI Act should give clear guidance and should leave space for innovation, he added.

Each week on The Entrepreneur's Doctor, together with my guests, we help Entrepreneurs (and Intrapreneurs) create a healthier, happier world through their ventures. I love working with Innovators and Entrepreneurs from backgrounds other than medicine and healthcare, who decide to pivot into the health sector due to their personal experiences. Many choose to enter the field of digital health. This week, my guest shares tips to Entrepreneurs thinking about pivoting into the health space. Pouya Jamshidiat is a leader in product management & artificial intelligence, and co-host of Avicenna Conversations.

US-headquartered IQVIA is the latest health information technology and clinical research company to partner with the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), it has been announced. The multinational – described as "a leading global provider of advanced analytics, technology solutions, and clinical research services to the life sciences industry" – has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Saudi government agency to "explore opportunities of mutual interest and support innovation in the field of health data in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)." According to the country's official news agency, both parties will reportedly collaborate on joint ideas and research in data and artificial intelligence (AI), build a centre for "innovation and knowledge", and develop training programmes that can make use of this data and AI in the health sector. The agreement was co-signed by Majid Mohammed Al-Tuwaijri, supervisor of the National Center for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) at the SDAIA; and Mohamed Mostafa Elbadawy, IQVIA's General Manager for KSA and Egypt. "This MoU will contribute towards creating opportunities for development and growth in the health sector, supporting the goals of Vision 2030," said Al-Tuwaijri.

A Turkish social media expert said artificial intelligence (AI) brings a new vision to the healthcare sector. "Artificial intelligence brings revolutionary developments in the field of health, as in all areas of life," Deniz Unay told media. "Machine learning and assisted artificial intelligence have features that can develop an entire health system within the framework of a new vision," Unay said. Unay said the AI applications support doctors' diagnostic decisions and automate certain tasks underlining AI's rise in healthcare applications. AI can help better and more accurate detection of symptoms, analyzing the side effects of treatments, and processing large amounts of data produced by healthcare facilities, he said.

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has increased rapidly. Not only does it are likely involved in the field of entertainment and communication, but the future traces of AI in the area of health insurance and life start to be seen. In some countries, AI is integrated into sophisticated analytical tools to help medical practioners in hospitals diagnose cancer and other diseases. But can artificial intelligence replace the role of doctors? Through the application, AI automatically helps patients diagnose illness complaints on line before visiting the medical practitioner.

With technology, the past decade has been a revelation. Tech developers are breaking new ground, doing what we once thought was impossible. For engineers, researchers and developers, it seems the question to ask now is not if it can be done but how. Virtually every sector of the economy is experiencing the refreshing impact of technological innovation. Particularly in the health sector, there are plenty of business opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs and investors.
