19 Major Impacts AI Is Having On The Healthcare Industry

Artificial intelligence has had a significant impact on the healthcare industry, specifically in the ways businesses and providers operate and deliver care. From streamlining administrative tasks to improving patient care with data-driven insights, there are numerous outcomes that have only become possible with the evolution of AI.

Below, the members of Forbes Business Council share their insights and observations about how this technological shift will continue to shape the future of healthcare. Here’s how these experts believe AI will make the industry more efficient, personalized and accessible.

1. More Time For Providers To Focus On Patient Care

AI improves patient outcomes and the physician shortage. AMA’s three clinical care AI types (assistive, augmentative and autonomous) detect clinically relevant data for physician analysis, quantify it, provide feedback for clinical decisions and offer Dx conclusions and management options. AI performs focused, intensive image and waveform data interpretation, freeing providers for patient care. Anticipate rapid advancements. – Marc Samuels, ADVI Health, LLC

2. Identification Of Clinical And Non-Clinical Patterns In Marginalized Populations

A key impact is AI’s ability to analyze vast datasets to identify clinical and non-clinical patterns, particularly for older adults from historically marginalized populations. For AI to be equitably impactful, it must include inclusive data representation, adhere to robust governance and maintain continuously monitored standards with clear accountability. – Sarita Mohanty, The SCAN Foundation

3. More Efficient Data Collection

Healthcare records are information-rich, yet, too often, data insights go untapped because digitized records and disparate systems make it difficult to collect data efficiently. AI image recognition is already having an impact on diagnostics. Look for expanded insights from decades of healthcare records and medical images in the near future. – Dennis DuFour, TDEC
