A lot of people have this misconception that
the existence of machines, robots, and artificial intelligence is only going to
rob them of job opportunities. This could not be farther than the truth, as
these innovations actually help improve the way medical care is administered by
medical professionals and received by patients.
Early
Diagnosis Of Alzheimer’s
It is very important that anyone who suffers
from Alzheimer’s is diagnosed early on, as this disease can bring severe harm
and damage to an individual’s health and well-being. Because identifying the
symptoms of Alzheimer’s is quite difficult, the use of machine learning can
significantly lessen the time that it takes to detect even the smallest signs.
In a recent study published on the
Neurobiology of Aging, it was found that using machine learning with the right
algorithm to search for the presence of amyloid plaques in the brain delivered
faster results and allowed diagnosed patients to undergo therapy and treatment
sooner. Amyloid plaques are proteins that appear in the brain on the onset of
Alzheimer’s. If not detected for a long time, these produces a buildup that may
lead to dementia.
Dr.
Freudbot As A Therapist
Therapy is an additional expense to day-to-day
living that not everyone in the world can afford. However, with the
introduction of artificial intelligence and machine learning, psychological
counselling can be availed by even the poorest of poor.
The New Yorker has reported that chatbot
products and services have already been deployed and utilized in helping out
Syrian refugees in dealing with their problems. And, just like human
counsellors, these robots were able to communicate with and act as effective
empathic ears to their patients without problems.
The mobile app Woebot, which was developed by
Stanford University students, possesses cognitive behavioral traits that allow
it to interact on a human-like level with people who are suffering from
troublesome and problematic issues in their lives.
And, instead of paying $100 an hour for a
session, patients only need to shell out between $6 and $12 per week for some
good quality therapy. Moreover, the app is available at your service 24/7,
unlike a live therapist who can only see you during work hours.
Better
And Improved Pharmaceuticals
Artificial intelligence can take in and
process data on various types of diseases, drug components and effects, and
other information quicker and more efficiently, thereby allowing the production
of more effective medications for the fast and successful treatment of
patients.
