How AI Can Democratize Healthcare

About this book

AI is revolutionizing the Where, When, What and How people access healthcare. Trained healthcare professionals and physical clinics are a limited and expensive resource. With location removed from the equation, shifting care to the point of the patient increases access and lowers the cost of delivery. The negligible incremental cost to provide an AI based software program per person makes AI infinitely scalable and accessible. The patient experience is changing, expectations are evolving, and the major healthcare stakeholders are recognizing healthcare can be delivered in new ways that improve patient outcomes. AI advancements across Vocal Biomarkers, Remote Patient Monitoring, Digital Therapeutics, Voice Recognition, Decision Support Tools, Virtual Reality, and Predictive Care are coalescing together to create Ambient Healthcare Computing: the ever-present healthcare assistant that monitors, analyzes, and provides the right interventions to the right person at the right time. This future of ambient computing promises a reimagined healthcare paradigm from sick-care to continuous-care.
