One of the fastest growing trends in health information technology: Recent years have seen the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and the trend will continue in 2023. Standing among many industries that benefit from AI, medicine mainly applies it to profound diagnostics and detection of diseases, but it’s not limited to them. For example, IBM Watson is one of the AI platforms already available for business and healthcare (including custom medical software solutions).

Let’s see what support AI can offer healthcare and associated industries and how it could become the major healthtech trend in the future.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic has stricken the planet’s population, the strain put upon computed diagnostic specialists (radiologists) has dramatically increased.

A system driven by AI could be a solution. AI algorithms can swiftly process computed tomography scans of thousands of patients, detecting pneumonia patterns caused by COVID-19 and reporting these to clinicians. That would compensate for a shortage of skilled human resources in this field.
