Machine learning algorithms can quickly evaluate a large number of medical pictures and be carefully trained to recognize minutiae in CT scans and MRIs.

FREMONT, CA: Many breakthroughs have occurred in the healthcare industry, but machine learning is one such advancement that has improved the industry's performance. Machine learning has come a long way, but the best machine learning tool is a doctor's brain in the healthcare industry. Many doctors are concerned that artificial intelligence will take over the healthcare business.

Machine learning should be utilized to supplement patient care and as a tool for clinicians to improve clinical outcomes. Machine learning will never fully replace doctors because, even if it were to achieve supremacy, patients would always require the human touch and care of a doctor.

Role of Machine Learning in Healthcare

Medical Imaging Diagnosis

Medical imaging diagnostic is a procedure or technology that visually depicts tissue or internal organ parts to track health, diagnose disorders, and treat them. It also aids in the creation of an anatomy and physiology database. Using medical imaging techniques such as ultrasound and MRI, surgical operations can be avoided. Machine learning algorithms can quickly evaluate a large number of medical pictures and be carefully trained to recognize minutiae in CT scans and MRIs. A system developed by a deep learning team from the United States, France, and Germany can diagnose skin cancer more precisely than a dermatologist.

Robotic Surgery

Since its inception in 1980, the use of robotics in healthcare has grown at a rapid pace. Many people are still skeptical of robots performing surgery, but in the not-too-distant future, they will be routinely utilized in surgeries. In hospitals, robotics is utilized to monitor patients and warn nurses when human interaction is required. The robotic helper can detect the blood vessel and draw blood with the patient experiencing less pain and worry. In pharmaceutical labs, robots also prepare and deliver drugs. Robotic carts are used to transport medical supplies at large facilities. Speaking of robots replacing humans, this will not happen anytime soon; robotics can only aid doctors, not replace them.

Identifying Disease and Diagnosis

Machine learning models that predict illness or early diagnosis of sickness and illness are already being developed by scientists. One UK-based technology business is developing artificial intelligence algorithms for the precise identification of complex respiratory disorders. The computer science and artificial intelligence lab at one leading research university has developed a novel deep learning-based prediction model that can forecast breast cancer development up to five years in advance.
