January 8, 2024- Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently a trending topic in the health care industry ,according to Detroit Regional Chamber. Hundreds of startups are pitching AI-themed products and services to providers like Henry Ford Health and Corewell Health, two of Michigan’s largest hospital systems. And leaders at those providers are sorting through the offerings and piloting what seem to be the most useful applications. In fact, 72% of healthcare organizations are pursuing generative AI, according to Detroit Regional Chamber.
AI’s ability to mine huge data sets can help radiologists and pathologists draw insights from X-rays, MRI readouts, and other medical imagery technology. AI tools can also be useful in summarizing a doctor/patient conversation. AI-aided programs can pull out useful information from a recording – patient histories, follow-up questions, next appointments or prescriptions – and sort it into patient summaries that save doctors countless hours of paperwork.
