Advances in AI have enabled systems to outperform medical experts in tasks like diagnosis, personalized medicine, patient monitoring, and drug development. Despite these advancements, it remains unclear whether improved diagnostic accuracy and performance metrics translate into tangible patient benefits, such as reduced mortality or morbidity.
The researchers found that compared with white men, Asian men, Asian women, Black women, and white women were more likely to be appointed to entry-level positions.
With technology that includes wearables, 3D-printed medication and robot-assisted surgeries, the possibilities are seemingly endless when it comes to innovations that improve human health.
More than 450 resident doctors at George Washington University Hospital on Tuesday announced plans to strike, barring last-minute concessions from the medical school, potentially disrupting patient care at one of the D.C. region's biggest hospitals. The residents — medical school graduates who are training in their specialty under the supervision of attending physicians — and fellows are demanding cost-of-living pay increases and more robust mental health benefits.
The potential number of use-cases for AI in healthcare settings seems to be increasing at an exponential pace. Moving beyond uses for research and development, customer service needs, reducing administrative documentation burdens or easing regulatory processes, the latest trend by hospitals is to leverage the technology to help monitor patients.
