DECEMBER 20218Sara Dalmasso, VP Digital EMEA, GE Healthcare [NYSE: GE]ByArtificial intelligence (AI) is often positioned as the savior of pressured healthcare systems. Done right, it has the potential to be the technology of the decade, perhaps the century, in healthcare as it can help join up and analyze levels of data that no human brain could process, to recommend, for example, the best course of treatment for an individual patient.Ideally, all medical data would be pulled into a system that could recognize patterns based on data from thousands or millions of anonymized patients in similar situations. If AI can be integrated seamlessly into a medical professional's daily work, it could support decision-making and take on routine tasks, freeing up more time for complex cases.But before we get to that ideal state, we first have to solve one of the biggest issues: data. As much as 30 percent of data stored the world over is generated in the healthcare industry but it exists in different systems and silos and is not consistent in form. The success of AI is completely dependent on the size and quality of annotated data sets and that the right data is available at the right time. AI CAN ONLY TRANSFORM HEALTHCARE IF DATA IS CLEAN, RELEVANT AND ACCESSIBLEIn My Opinion
