Hello everyone!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming medicine, opening up new possibilities in diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. From improving imaging accuracy to personalizing treatment approaches, AI has the potential to make healthcare more efficient and improve patients' quality of life.

Let's explore the different applications of AI in medicine and talk about how these technologies are reshaping healthcare today:

Diagnosis: AI systems are increasingly being used to analyse medical images, particularly in radiology, where they help interpret scans faster and more accurately.
Personalized medicine: By analysing large amounts of data, AI can assist in creating more personalized treatment plans based on a patient’s genetic, environmental, and health information.
Surgical procedures: In robotic-assisted surgeries, AI enables more precise and safer interventions, helping surgeons perform complex operations.
Prediction and prevention: AI models can predict the risk of certain diseases and recommend preventive measures to avoid critical conditions.
Patient care: AI is being used to manage and optimize treatment plans, monitoring patient progress, and offering timely adjustments.

How do you see the role of AI in future medical practice? What ethical considerations do you think should be raised as AI becomes more integrated into healthcare? Have you had any personal experiences with AI-based medical procedures?

We look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!

Best,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

This is one area we need to advance and invest for our health services. Importing foreign staff, which is effectively stealing staff from other countries that can ill afford to lose such staff. Yes, the human element does seem to be not as good as AI, together with monitoring health conditions remotely can have massive social benefits. So much of medicine is now AI controlled well beyond the capability of us mere humans. My radiotheraphy totally AI controlled, MRI etc., even seen some videos of operations carried out with the use of AI. So in reality it AI is already well into of medical services and reduce the human services required, perhaps our only real help accessible by us in the futue. Cannot see fault in introducing more AI to a broken health service if it leads to improvements overall!

@robjmckinney Hi there,

You raise some very important points. I can understand the frustration with the delays especially when dealing with something as serious as cancer. Maybe a balanced approach, where AI is used to support doctors rather than replace them could be the way forward? I’m wishing you and your wife the best, and if you ever need to talk or have questions, we’re all here to listen and support you. 💛

I guess a lot depends on the specialty.

I guess AI can relatively easily, from both a technical and acceptance from patients standpoint, replace e.g. radiologists (as it already has). However, for example for pyschiatrists, even if technically AI may have the capacity to perform their tasks, patients may have a substantial difficulty to confide in an AI in the same way.

@gmorlet I see your point! For areas like radiology, where making sense of images is important, AI’s pattern recognition abilities can really come into play. But for psychiatry, where building trust and empathy are required, the human connection is harder to replicate, even if AI could perform the tasks on paper.

How do you think AI might evolve to support, rather than replace, roles like psychiatrists? Do you think there’s a middle ground?

AI is already capable of incorporating human emotions in its responses, so I guess it might start by taking over video consultations, but in-person consultations of psychiatrists would be hard to phase out. Altogether, the short term equilibrium might be AI video consultations but not in-person.
