If there is one thing that healthcare has in abundance, it is data. AI can analyze colossal amounts of data, much faster and more accurately than scientists or healthcare professionals, revealing hidden patterns and predictions to enhance diagnosis, public health and safety. For instance, AI can scour millions of medical images--MRIs, CT scans, and more--and accurately identify the group of pixels in an image that represents cancer, the feat that is not possible by the humans. On the other hand, as the AI applications continuously learn and evolve, getting better at making data associations with the feed of new data sets, they will continue to lead improvements in healthcare precision, efficiency, and outcomes. AI is all set to completely redesign healthcare--and for better.AI presents myriad of opportunities across diverse healthcare fields. In oncology, it can detect abnormalities in medical images; in genomics, it can perform complex processing; and in precision medicine, it can assist in creating highly personalized treatments for individual patients. As such, application of AI as the personal assistance can have interesting outcomes in terms of monitoring and assisting patients in case the clinical personnel is not available. Also, robot-assisted surgery is another prominent value offering by AI. Here, intelligent robots can integrate information from pre-op medical records with real-time operating metrics to enhance physician's instrument precision.Unlike legacy technologies, AI truly augments human activity. Such ability indeed moved the famous personalities like Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk to have a dystopian outlook of AI. Whether full AI could spell the doom of human race or not the adoption of AI in healthcare is on the rise, and is solving a variety of problems for patients, hospitals, and the healthcare industry overall. In fact, Frost & Sullivan predicts the market for AI in healthcare to reach $6.6 billion by 2021. Also, a report by Gartner predicts that by 2025, 50 percent of the population will rely on an AI-powered personal assistant for their routine primary care. The healthcare AI market is buzzing, and an increasing number of tech companies are set to disrupt this field. To help healthcare decision makers understand and select the best-of-breed healthcare AI solution providers, our goal with this special edition is to highlight the top companies such as AdviNow Medical that leverage AI to automate the medical visit, enhance the primary care experience, and fundamentally reduce the cost to run clinics.
