How artificial intelligence can completely revolutionize Canadian health care
We all know that Canada has risen to become a world leader
in Artificial Intelligence all thanks majorly due to Geoffrey Hinton, a Google
Engineering Fellow, cognitive psychologist cum computer scientist who is widely
considered as the godfather of deep learning. By harnessing the potential of
neural nets, Dr. Hinton has unlocked learning capability of machines. He has
also become the darling of people trying to revolutionize the healthcare and
medicine industry.
It is clear that the medical community despite its aversion
to change will need to use AI to improve healthcare and this has already begun.
Machine learning, today can help identify patterns of symptoms and relevant
signs in patients to improve accuracy of diagnosis. In the domain of medical
imaging, algorithms are helping computers to improve radiologic studies. There
is much more.
Also, technology can help doctors suffering from tedious
paperwork which is a plague of this profession. It can enable them to spend
more time with patients. Take for instance, an intelligent voice recognition
software that can automatically make a note for an encounter with the patient
and store it in the electronic medical record. This can help doctors reduce
their time spent on the screen and interact more with the individuals. For AI
to have a significant positive impact on patients, leaders and healthcare
institutions need to participate in the conversation taking place and champion
the use of technology in their field.
They can begin by encouraging collaboration between the
engineering and medical faculties at universities. Residency training programs
and medical schools should give exposure to AI in their curriculum. This could
be in the form of electives, dual degree fellowship programs that combine these
areas of expertise.
Similarly, governments could play a role by creating the
right ecosystem needed for growth. They have made recent investments in
creating AI infrastructures which should be viewed as a positive step. This
should also be supplemented with federal and provincial policies.
Ultimately, almost every industry will have to evolve with
the rapid growth in technology, and medicine is no different. By providing the
right ecosystem, opportunities for growth and leveraging the technology, Canada
can truly create a difference in its healthcare with the help of Artificial
Intelligence.
