Trends and emerging applications of AI in healthcare
- AI isn't just a trend in healthcare. It's the launchpad for a whole new era of innovation in our industry. We've already covered some of the most exciting applications but what other trends in emerging tech are popping up? One is what is called a digital twin. Imagine you're a cardiologist. You've got multiple treatment options for a patient. Instead of relying on trial and error, you create a virtual replica of that patient's heart and simulate each treatment before making a decision. In many ways, the future is end-of-one medicine. These digital models help predict how an individual might respond without risk so doctors can make more confident, evidence-based decisions. That's safer, smarter care. Another trend worth following is federated learning. It's basically a group project where you BYOD, bring your own data, but without the awkward Zoom calls or someone forgetting to unmute. It lets AI models learn from decentralized data sources without sharing sensitive patient…
