10 Ways Artificial Intelligence In Medicine Can Make You A Better Doctor

A more efficient healthcare through artificial intelligence

Automation through 3D-printing, robotics and AI will make healthcare more sustainable and more efficient. Artificial intelligence combined with other new digital technologies will improve healthcare processes. This will lead to more efficient and earlier treatment of patients. The focus in medicine will eventually shift from treatment to prevention. Medical professionals will get the chance to move from monotonous, repetitive, tasks to the creative and challenging assignments.

Artificial intelligence in medicine has certainly more creative, innovative and revolutionary potential than simply process optimization. You can mine medical images or medical records to come up with previously unknown signals or implications. You can also reuse old drugs for new purposes or create drugs from existing pills as well as design treatment plans for cancer patients.

A general practitioner would save lot of time if the administrative process would be performed by an AI-powered system. Then a GP would be able to concentrate only on the patient’s problem. Healthcare messaging apps and chatbots would spare a lot of time to a GP if able to give answers to simple patient questions. In this case the need for the intervention of a medical professional would be minimized.

As the amount of medical data is exponentially growing, the time for dealing with patients is getting shorter. However, artificial intelligence in medicine could make you a better doctor through the following 10 ways:

1) Eradicate waiting time

A system of artificial intelligence in medicine could makes your schedule as efficient as possible. The AI system would seamlessly direct you to the next logical task.

2) Prioritize your emails

Artificial intelligence in medicine can help prioritizing all the unread emails. If we could  completely streamline digital communication in line with our needs we could work more accurately and without too much effort.

3) Find you the information you need

Systems of artificial intelligence in medicine could answer your questions immediately by searching for the answer online. In fact, AI-powered bots such as HealthTap or Your.Md already aim to help patients find a solution to common symptoms.  Another AI-powered boot, Safedrugbot, embodies a chat messaging service offering assistant-like support to doctors and health professionals who need appropriate information about use drugs during breastfeeding.

4) Keep you up-to-date

Artificial intelligence in medicine can process all the information for you and show you only the most relevant papers. IBM Watson is already able to process as much as million pages in seconds. Due to this remarkable computing power Watson is used in oncology centers, supporting the process of treatment decision making in cancer care.

5) Work when you don’t

Artificial intelligence systems in medicine could work when you don’t have any device in hand. With the help of an AI, you don’t need touching any device when a message comes in.
