Is AI the Future of Our Healthcare?

Is AI the future of healthcare and should we trust computers being involved in our diagnosis process? Medical experts and clinicians have been trying to integrate AI into the medical field for many different reasons. One major problem that physicians have been struggling with is the number of face-to-face interactions that physicians have with their patients, but AI can help solve this problem. AI can also help navigate away from misdiagnoses and medical errors.

 

AlphaFold is one organization that began using AI in their healthcare. AlphaFold is an AI model that predicts protein structures by taking the amino acid sequence in one-dimension and predicting the three-dimensional protein at an atomic level. This model has inspired many other protein prediction models, including RNA, antibodies, and picking up the missense mutations in the genome. AlphaFold can also come up with proteins that don’t even exist in nature. This is just the beginning of the capabilities of AI in the medical world.

 

We don’t speak much about the medical errors that are experienced in the medical community, but they are much more common than people realize, and these issues need to be addressed. Statistics show that all of us will experience at least one medical error in our lifetime. These errors have led to 800,00 Americans dead or seriously disabled every year.

Can AI help us?
