The survival instinct is the key to human flourishing. Maybe that's why we humans have always been a bit of a hypochondriac deep down.
Despite the fact that various experts have already proven that artificial intelligence can help medical professionals diagnose much more effectively than before, the role that AI can play in personal fitness is something that has recently attracted attention. According to the Accenture report, the industry of medical systems controlled by artificial intelligence will grow to 6,6 billion dollars.
Some of the areas in which AI is most effectively used, according to a report by Forbes magazine, are: robotic surgery with the help of AI, image analysis and other administrative and management tasks in the healthcare sector. In addition, AI easily took on the role of virtual medical assistants and quite successfully helped in making clinical decisions.
Since they have shown positive results, all these technologies will have to be used by the large healthcare industry, as well as administered and used by professionals. Meanwhile, the role of patients as passive recipients of treatment will remain the same. Moreover, although these significant changes continue to occur in the medical industry, another parallel revolution in the health care sector is brewing, which is aimed at expanding the rights and opportunities of individual patients.
Many personal fitness gadgets are being developed for sale. When these gadgets are integrated with artificial intelligence systems, they become capable of providing individual medical programs for individuals. Soon they will offer a much more intensive and comprehensive choice for health than any doctor.
Fitness gadgets have gained popularity despite doctors' skepticism about their effectiveness, such as measuring how many steps a person has taken. Moreover, it is impossible to deny the fact that such devices as apple watch, Android Wear and Fitbit, release huge volumes of data related to users' health and lifestyle.
Propeller Health is another successful artificial intelligence system that can detect asthma attacks based on patient treatment and environmental data. There are several other examples of such successes.
Thus, we see that not only AI is capable of giving positive results in terms of providing effective medical care. It is also an inevitable option for processing a large volume of performance data.
A complex system of artificial intelligence will increase the productivity and well-being of people. While large-scale artificial intelligence systems used in the medical industry will improve people's life expectancy, the personal healthcare sector will increase its quality.
