What is the Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Healthcare Industry? Trending Keynote Speakers and Experts
Although still in its infancy, AI applications in the healthcare industry are becoming increasingly more prominent. The AI health market is currently valued at $11B and is forecasted to reach $187B by 2030, highlighting the significant potential and utility of the technology in the healthcare sector.
How can Artificial Intelligence be Applied in the Healthcare Industry?
Automation and problem-solving are some of the most common applications of AI in the healthcare industry. AI has the potential to make faster decisions and assist healthcare professionals with problem-solving techniques that humans would struggle to carry out alone. The main two categories for AI applications in healthcare are perceptual AI, which involves diagnosis and monitoring, and intervention AI, which makes decisions on how patients should be treated.

How is Artificial Intelligence Currently Used in the Healthcare Industry?
Some of the most pioneering uses of AI in the healthcare industry are in early detection procedures. AI is 30 times faster at reviewing mammograms with a 99% accuracy rate compared to humans, who often yield false results, leading to 1 in 2 healthy women being told they have cancer. Another use is in prenatal ultrasound screening, where AI can detect foetal abnormalities, which are difficult to spot by even the most discerning and experienced medical professionals.
On average, it takes 12 years to develop a new drug for human consumption, and it can cost up to $359M. AI is now being used to help with the discovery of life-saving drugs as well as reduce the time it takes to get a drug to market.

What Impact Will Artificial Intelligence Have on the Healthcare Industry?
The rate and accuracy at which AI can interpret data has substantial cost-saving benefits and can free time for healthcare professionals to deliver higher quality care. Moreover, AI can prioritise procedures and decisions, tackling issues such as the growing unmet need for clinical care to reduce wait times and queues for medical attention.
Using AI in the healthcare industry can also address the uneven distribution of training and human resource allocation across the country. However, with the application of AI in healthcare settings being a recent phenomenon, concerns about trust, bias, security and safety are being raised. As a result, medical professionals are now calling for robust ethical and regulatory frameworks before AI applications become more widespread.
