What medical professionals need to know about artificial intelligence in healthcare

Ease the fears of your clinicians by exploring the benefits of artificial intelligence for medical practices

 

The usage of artificial intelligence is rapidly increasing worldwide, including within the healthcare industry. The global artificial intelligence in healthcare market size was valued at $15.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 37.5% from 2023 to 2030. [1] 

Continue reading to learn about artificial intelligence and its benefits within the healthcare system, plus why it won’t be replacing healthcare providers anytime soon. 


What is artificial intelligence (AI)?

Artificial intelligence is a computer science system that allows computers and machines to provide problem-solving and decision-making tasks mimicked by human intelligence. Machine learning has the potential to provide data-driven clinical decision support to physicians and hospital staff—paving the way for increased revenue potential. [2]

Today, artificial intelligence is already being used in healthcare. For example, natural language processing, a version of AI with the ability to understand text and spoken words like humans, is being used to further speed up clinical trials. 


What are the advantages of AI in healthcare?

AI has improved the healthcare system by beating the one thing humans can not, time. Because of this, AI has greatly improved the workflow and process of the industry by making it:

  • More affordable: With AI technology, clinicians can now analyze and collect data more efficiently, reducing costs within the healthcare industry. 
  • More personalized: AI has the ability to personalize the experience of every individual patient by offering them detailed and personalized communication that is often overlooked in a busy medical practice. 
  • More efficient: The U.S. currently spends more money on healthcare than any other country in the world, yet its individual health outcomes are still lower than most other developed nations. [3] With AI, our healthcare system can become more advanced and cost-efficient. 


Should clinicians fear AI? 

There’s no need for medical professionals to fear AI! AI has the potential to positively impact the work of many people in the healthcare industry, and machines won’t be replacing healthcare providers anytime soon. 

To be able to adapt to future trends and the integration of AI into the healthcare system, clinicians need to become aware of the power of this new technology and understand that the world is changing. [3] Incorporating AI into the healthcare industry will not take over jobs, but instead, build a stronger healthcare system and allow clinicians to focus on what they do best, taking care of patients.
