Artificial Intelligence to Improve Healthcare

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is working overtime, and the longer businesses and governments have access to AI technologies, the more benefits can be derived from them. Healthcare applications are being bolstered with AI technologies on the clinical and community level.
AI is a tool, and like any tool, there can be positive and negative uses and outcomes from its use. Consider AI as a power tool, and you will see applications everywhere. Navigating the healthcare system and getting an accurate diagnosis of illness can be difficult, and AI can help the government, companies and individuals to overcome some of these hurdles.
Amazingly, the FDA has allowed over 500-medical AI programs to operate in the United States. Most of these AI technology applications involve AI-assistance when viewing images. The approved AI-protocols cleared include radiology, hematology, microbiology and dental programs that look at images and find issues. The AI specialize in diagnosis of illness from images, process automation and anatomic pathology aides. Amazingly, AI assistance has been approved by the FDA since 1995, with some 50-programs approved.
The General Services Administration (GSA), and organization of the United States’ Government has issued a challenge for AI developers to improve healthcare for a diverse array of communities. AI challenges include using AI to help our supply chains, detect illness earlier, work to reduce addiction and help those who need care to find it efficiently. These AI technologies can help entire communities and supply chains that help push health initiatives to those in need on a population level.
AI will be used to help us solve problems, and healthcare is rife with them. Access to care and early detection in a community setting need to be streamlined with technology, and AI can fill the gap. The GSA challenge ends in May of 2023, and the promise of what this can deliver is exciting. AI is working to help people on a clinical level and a population/community level which are both extremely important as our population ages.
