The Future of Healthcare is Here: Arionkoder’s Comprehensive Guide to AI in Medicine — part 1 — Arionkoder Insights

Part 1: Exploring the Basics of AI in Healthcare

Artificial intelligence (AI) models based on machine learning have made significant improvements in recent years, achieving remarkable results that have revolutionized many fields including medicine. In the healthcare industry, AI has enabled new diagnostic and treatment methods, improved patient care and outcomes, and eased the work of clinicians and healthcare providers.

One of the main reasons for the success of AI in medicine is the vast amount of data generated in the healthcare industry. Patient records, image scans, results of clinical studies and other types of data are constantly collected as part of standard medical processes. This data can be used to train machine learning models to automate tasks such as diagnosis and prognosis, treatment planning, drug design, and more.

Current medical AI solutions can process several types of clinical data. Electronic health records in the form of database tables can be analyzed using machine learning models to predict patient outcomes or identify specific diseases. Medical images, such as X-rays or MRIs, can be processed using deep learning to localize abnormalities and assist radiologists in diagnosis. Other signals such as EEG or ECG can be automatically analyzed with AI models to recognize patterns and predict potential health issues. In addition, AI can be used to process and analyze large amounts of text data, such as medical literature or patient notes, to extract relevant information and insights that could be ultimately exploited by clinical experts.

The advantages of implementing AI in clinical processes are multiple. Some of them are:

Despite the many potential benefits of AI in medicine, there are also several limitations and challenges that must be addressed in order to ensure the success of these tools:

In the past decade, many companies and startups have started to successfully deliver AI solutions to improve daily healthcare practice. From clinical support systems that can automatically diagnose diseases to machine learning-driven tools that assist radiologists in analyzing medical images, AI is the present of medicine, and with no doubt its role will be critical in the future.

During the upcoming weeks, we will present Arionkoder’s vision on how to successfully employ AI for medical applications. We will do so with a series of articles covering each of what we believe are the building blocks to successfully design, implement, deploy and maintain reliable, trustworthy data-driven solutions to medicine. In this first episode of the series, we focused on the broader picture of the field. Stay tuned for the upcoming chapters, where we will dive into details regarding data quality, model design and evaluation and the technological infrastructure needed.
