The growing role of AI in healthcare: how devices are changing the game
Healthcare hinges on diagnostics, which is why doctors must accurately identify the illnesses they aim to treat to provide proper care for their patients. An incorrect diagnosis introduces the risk that treatment may be ineffective or harmful.
To diagnose properly, doctors rely on data by measuring key metrics and evaluating their implications based on experience, education, and best practices. The more data available to doctors, the more accurate their diagnoses can be.
