Hospitals now seem the same on the exterior, but much has changed behind the scenes. Modern algorithms may now alert physicians to early signs of sepsis, automatically triage medical scans before a radiologist sees them, and produce draft clinical notes in real time when a doctor consults with a patient. None of these developments were accidental. It was the culmination of years of dedicated AI in healthcare research, carried out by teams that understood the technology and the rigorous standards that medicine requires. The transformation is coming soon. Health AI usage among doctors climbed 78% in 2024, with 66% utilising it, and the worldwide industry is expected to reach hundreds of billions within a decade, owing mostly to increasing investment in AI development in healthcare by hospitals, startups, and research laboratories alike. In this blog, we'll look at what AI healthcare is, how it started, where it's utilised, and what's next.
