How AI — and ASU — will advance the health care sector

How AI — and ASU — will advance the health care sector

The growing role of artificial intelligence, or AI, in healthcare is reshaping and advancing current practices. AI is theorised to have potential to analyze a patient’s scan and other data and predict risks for heart attacks or strokes. AI has been used in healthcare for over two decades and can accelerate diagnoses and treatment by processing information faster than humans. Bradley Greger, an associate professor in ASU’s School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, sees AI as an essential tool, enhancing but not replacing healthcare providers. Some experts believe that while AI’s impact will be significant, its integration into everyday healthcare will take time.
