ATLANTIC HEALTH SYSTEM
One area where Atlantic Health is using AI extensively is to improve diagnostic accuracy . “ AI has made significant strides in terms of imaging area ,” he says . “ There is an acute shortage of radiologists , so we are using AI in terms of initial reads of imaging , prioritising those reads , notifying the radiologist or the physicians for early intervention , and even for preventive care . That has made a significant impact in terms of prioritising care and early interventions , leading to better patient outcomes and patient safety .”
AI is also being used in terms of enhanced patient care . “ AI monitors patient conditions in real-time using remote patient monitoring , and alerts the care team if there is any early intervention needed ,” Dadlani explains .
“ Then of course , AI is also extensively used in clinical decision support systems , making personalised education training materials , and also in terms of predictive health and public health area where we are using AI to leverage large data sets to identify disease patterns , outbreaks , assist in public health surveillance and preventive strategies . We are exploring use cases for leveraging AI in personalised and precision medicine .”
