In recent, AI technologies become to be utilized in medical practice.
Originally, predicting the future was not been accomplished with an AI because computer programs just only execute human's order. But recently, big data analysis enabled us to forecast the percentage of a certain vision in the near future. The weather forecast is a good example. One of the advantages of AI is pattern recognition. Thus, if given adequate dataset, AI can predict what will happen precisely.
Recently, it was reported that AI overcame human physicians in predicting the medical prognosis of patients. According to the media, the AI protocol developed through machine learning was able to distinguish the prognosis of patients with heart disease on 75 percent of accuracy while human physicians' precise rate was only 59 percent.
Evening Standard: 'Computers better than doctors for predicting heart failure'
I was not surprised to hear this result. In a single task to calculate a percentage from data, even if complicated, AI will be superior to human. Also in the regions of psychiatry, there is a study in which a simple algorithm of medication prevented deterioration of mental health in patients at high risk of relapse more effectively than the intervention administered by skilled psychiatrists.
In the near future, screening section of medical care will be addressed to some extent by AI. Human doctors will concentrate on more complex issues in human health.
