This artice covers the topic of how COVID-19 is accelerating the adoption of AI in healthcare.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused profound shifts within both the healthcare system and the world at large. The continuous and dynamic nature of this public health emergency is showing the value of having ways and solutions that are adaptable rather than fixed. Under the telemedicine and digital health umbrella, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are increasingly used and combined to analyze the data and give actionable insights to improve healthcare. Doctors have moved towards the use of digital devices, but Covid-19 is accelerating that shift.
ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Generally talking, when we are attempting to make a decision based on a lot of data - for example, if 100,000 participating factors influence an outcome - it can be a daunting task for humans. As the number of factors keeps increasing, it becomes difficult to discover the relationship linking the inputs and the outputs. That is why machine learning and AI are playing a vital role. Though machines are not entirely smart, they help make a balanced decision based on data and assist us in scaling the way we manage data.
