AI in Healthcare: Combatting Misdiagnoses & Missed Diagnoses With Machine Learning

The increasing sophistication of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is driving companies across the board towards integrating this technology into their operations, and healthcare stands out as a particularly eligible sector in this regard. In 2020, the UK was ranked second globally in terms of overall readiness for AI, and an estimated 22% net increase in healthcare jobs is predicted to occur over the next 20 years as a result of increased AI implementation. Machine learning – a form of AI that processes and identifies patterns in large data sets – is proving incredibly powerful in this sector, acting as a vehicle for faster, more efficient, and more accurate medical decision-making. This report explores the potential and current state of AI healthcare, highlighting why medical professions should consider turning to data-driven analysis and machine learning to improve disease diagnosis and other healthcare practices.
