Identification of diseases through AI
One of the most profound impacts of AI in healthcare is the early identification of diseases. Through algorithms and patient data, AI can analyze various factors such as imaging, patient history, demographics, and medical records to determine the probability of developing certain conditions in the future. For example, a pilot program at Hackensack Meridian Health is using AI to identify stage three kidney disease earlier, allowing for early prevention and intervention. AI also aids in radiology by prioritizing scans based on patient history and other relevant data, ensuring timely treatment for those who need it the most.
