📌 How the healthcare industry can win big with AI
AI case studies: #2024-03 | How AI is transforming the world?
In 2021, AI in healthcare market was worth around $11B worldwide. It was forecast that the global healthcare AI market would be worth almost $188B by 2030.
AI-powered diagnostics use patients' histories to identify potential health issues, initially serving as aids to human physicians.
⇒ Healthcare services management: barriers include addressing privacy concerns, advancing technology, and gaining acceptance for advanced applications from patients, healthcare providers, and regulators.
⇒ Clinical decision-making: AI can help physicians make better clinical decisions or even replace human judgement in healthcare-specific functional areas.
⇒ Patient data and diagnostics: they augment diagnoses, continuously learning and improving through interaction.
⇒ Predictive medicine: over time, the collaboration between AI and healthcare may lead to autonomous AI diagnostic systems.
Ethical issues of artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare
But, “before integrating artificial intelligence with the healthcare system, practitioners and specialists should consider all four medical ethics principles, including autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice in all health care.”
Doctors and nurses are expected to provide treatment in an empathetic and compassionate environment, which will significantly affect the healing process of patients. This will not be achieved with robotic physicians and nurses. Patients will lose empathy, kindness, and appropriate behavior when dealing with robotic physicians and nurses because these robots do not possess human attributes such as compassion. This is one of the most significant negative aspects of artificial intelligence in medical science.
Another problem that threatens societies following the development of AI is the social gap issue. In all countries worldwide, with every growth, discovery, and invention, people face greater social inequality and less social justice. Although AI improves the accessibility to more information about science and technology, world events, climate changes, and politics worldwide, it exacerbates social inequality.
