Artificial Intelligence: Patient Care and Health Professional's Education

Healthcare technologies have captured extensive digitised data in the form of electronic medical record. With the availability of this stored digitised data and advance computational power systems at low cost, there exists an opportunity to develop solutions that just do not follow programmed instruction, but also have some of the human traits such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, and learn from experience without being explicitly programmed. This technique where computers mimic human brain is referred to as Artificial Intelligence (AI). As current AI solutions mature and get more trained, they will assist medical experts in performing simple tasks and will free up their work schedule allowing them to focus on solving more complex cases. AI solutions can also improve the quality of education and prepare next generation of health professionals that can use the latest technology tools, and provide the best possible healthcare services to their patients.
