There\u2019s been a lot of talk about innovative new\ntechnology featuring artificial intelligence, and the health care industry is\nno exception. Strides have been made in many areas, but before AI gains\nwidespread acceptance, standards must be created and agreed upon by both\nbusinesses and government agencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The need for standards is an idea that is gaining\ntraction. The Consumer Technology Association, for example, created an AI group\ncomprised of device manufacturers and health care organizations in order to\ndevelop a set of best practices for directing how health-related gadgets use\npersonal data, covering everything from collection and processing to exchanging\nthat information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The relatively new push toward adopting standards is\na result of the rapid emergence of AI technology. It\u2019s still such a new trend,\nthere hasn\u2019t been time for various industries to collect enough data to come to\nan agreement. Fitness trackers are an excellent example. These devices gather\nheart rate data and might potentially alert doctors when a wearer is exhibiting\nsigns of imminent cardiac arrest. Few would argue this isn\u2019t a good thing, but\nthere is no established consensus on how to accurately measure heart rates,\ndelaying the technology from living up to its potential. It\u2019s always difficult\nto bring rival companies together and expect them to agree on standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further complicating matters? AI can be expensive.\nAsia-Pacific countries such as China are projected to spend $5.5 billion on AI\ntechnology in 2019 – an increase of 80 percent over last year. With so much\nmoney at stake, the push to adopt standards inevitably slows while the major\nplayers take time to weigh options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the marriage between AI and health care to\nsucceed, physicians are going to have to get involved by working directly with\nAI systems. Research has shown that the best results occur when doctors take\nthe machines\u2019 suggestions – an outcome that consistently outperforms either the\ndoctor or the machine acting alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the two can find a way to work together\nseamlessly, the potential is enormous. Consider the recent 10-day, 4,000-mile\nround-trip voyage of the Sea Hunter, a Navy warship designed by defense\ncontractor Leidos. No big feat, you say? The vessel is completely autonomous\nand made the trip from Pearl Harbor to San Diego relying solely on\nself-navigation. If we can build ships that have the ability to cross the ocean\non their own, imagine what we could do with a \u201csmart\u201d blood pressure monitor! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
