For all the developments in the technical niche, artificial intelligence is the latest kid in the block, and for the benefits it has on offer, it serves all the rights to be in the news for the cause. Not long ago, computers were large machines dependant on continuous human efforts for them to run, and now computers, with the aid of machine learning and artificial intelligence, are all set to replace human labor from almost all of the industries.
Artificial intelligence finds its exclusive application in host of fields such as Astronomy, Gaming, Finance, Automobiles, Travel and Transport and Robotics. Almost all of the fields requiring some strategic nervous intervention, can be looked after by the hands of artificial intelligence. Another important sphere of the society, the healthcare system is also deeply moved by the emergence of artificial intelligence, and is seeing constant upliftment in terms of new techniques for medications in the recent times.
Developments
Healthcare, as a prominent sector in any society, is due to perform it’s presumed services to the best of its capacity for the smooth functioning of the society. Talking of the Indian medicare structure, it has come a long way from the texts of the Indian Ayurveda to today’s modern day advanced medical techniques. Indian medical heritage has gifted Ayurveda to the world, and is now providing the world with some of the best medical techniques and the best doctors in the world.
This rich and diversified medical fraternity of India, if synchronized with the advantages of artificial intelligence, has the capability to beat all of the challenges currently faced by the health care industry and provide the best of health care facilities to the citizens of the world.
How can Artificial Intelligence improve upon healthcare
Artificial Intelligence opens up numerous ways to improvise upon the healthcare infrastructure of any given place. Like the ways in which artificial intelligence has boosted the e commerce strata of the industry and is currently working to enhance the travel and automotive experience, artificial intelligence can also give a boost to the healthcare system, with certainty.
- Improvise medical diagnostics: Artificial Intelligence opens up numerous avenues as far as the field of medical diagnostics is concerned. Artificial intelligence can replace the conventional testing methods for far more accurate diagnostics.
- Creation of new drugs: The time taking process of drug creation can be shortened to almost 20 percent if the initial values by the intervention of artificial intelligence in the process. This has been documented by the creation of a drug to cure OCD being developed in 1 year with the aid of artificial intelligence, instead of 4-5 years time taken to develop the drug by conventional methods.
- Altering patient behaviour: Many a studies have shown that artificially intelligent softwares can help the patients with their responses to a particular disease and alter it accordingly to mend the ways as per the benefit of the patient, depending upon their underlying medical condition and health.
- Alleviate the pain due to a disease: Artificial intelligence and virtual reality when coupled together can prove to be highly effective in alleviating the pain to a patient due to any disease. This can be done by simulating virtual conditions that can distract the patient from the source of the pain, and relieve from the agony.
- Work as information manager: Artificial intelligence can act up as a messenger, as well as a repository of all the information transferred between a patient and a doctor. With the number of patients per doctor increasing with each passing day, such an artificially intelligent solution can do wonders in the health care management system.
- Increase the surgical accuracy: Introduction of artificial intelligence in surgical methods decreases the chances of any and all errors that may creep in during the surgery. With artificially intelligent robot assisted surgery, the expectancy of successful culmination of the surgery increases manifolds as the probability of human errors drop to zero.
Footnotes
One cannot turn a blind eye towards the rapid extent of technology in every industry, and artificially intelligent machines are here to make a mark and stay. With all of the possibilities that can be explored by artificial intelligence, the health care industry holds the top most priority and relevance as far as the implementation of artificial intelligence is concerned.
