Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the technologies that could have the biggest impact this year on health and healthcare. While there is a fear that machines will replace humans, in reality, the technology will help offset the global deficit of skilled professionals.

Adoption - By 2025 there will be large-scale adoption of artificial intelligence for health and healthcare. More than 50% of the interviewees think that it will be omnipresent in six years.
Public health institutions are under increasing pressure to present compelling arguments when suggesting the acquisition of systems that integrate artificial intelligence. Although its use is still incipient, there are success stories that can guarantee the investment amounts.
It is very difficult to detect patients who are at risk of becoming addicted and to generate information that alerts doctors. With an artificial intelligence-based solution that combines textual analysis of medical notes with clinical patient information housed in electronic medical records, physicians have been successfully averted by identifying high-risk behaviors, resulting in the detection of 85,000 patients who were looking for drugs and generated savings of 60 million dollars to the health care provider.
The latest monitoring systems allow the patient to improve control of their health status thanks to constant knowledge of the most relevant indicators. Heart rate, sleep patterns or physical exercise are some of the variables analyzed and, based on the information obtained, these tools establish behavior patterns based on people's activity. Thus, patients are able to pose their own challenges based on their personal characteristics and begin to make decisions in which technology helps motivate them by observing their own progress.

Add to this being able to access data from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) or being an integral part of healthcare revenue cycle management and AI can be a massive benefit to the many divisions within health care. It can even speed up drug development by gathering relevant datasets and patient engagement protocols within clinical trials.
