An Emerging Market - AI in Medical Imagine

Imagine you are at remote place and you met with an accident but there is no Lab and radiologist available, you just take X-ray from portable x-ray machine or mobile phone, upload on AI platform, your AI using Advance AI able to tell you about your current status whether there is any fracture or not.

Above is just simple example what AI can do in Medical Imaging. Healthcare Technology is on revolution. Technology is revolutionizing all the field of healthcare. From simple patient registration to high end Cancer treatment. Using technology healthcare providers are able to give result fast and accurate. One of the emerging field is totally on verge of technology shift is Imaging services in Healthcare. From Couples of years Artificial Intelligence has captured the attention of Doctors and investors. Large Research hospitals are working on AI to perfect the process for clinical use. Advancement in medical Imaging is going to reduce the work load of Doctor in large hospital and shortage of Radiologist in remote area. When radiologist calls up to read CT scan or X-ray, AI will review the image and identify potential findings immediately –AI also compare the Medical history of the patient from EHR.

In past through Machine Learning Technologist have reached up certain level of accuracy but using advance Deep learning accuracy can be reach up to 100%. There is a report published by RSNA about Deep Learning which can Identify TB.

AI will going to take some percentage of $3 billion market of Medical Imagine. 

Information Age to Intelligence Age

Technology is on big shift in all industries and healthcare is not left behind.  There are lots of disruption happening around the world in healthcare sector. Lots of new startup are coming up with innovative solutions. New technology like AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning are pervading in Healthcare. Rising income and increasing healthcare spending are giving boost to investment in healthcare in emerging market. In Indian Companies like

Above list are just 4 of them, but more innovative startups are emerging in Healthcare. All having common goal “Providing best and affordable care through leveraging cutting edge technology”. Innovation is only solution to provide best and affordable healthcare to most needy population.

Healthcare is such an industry which generated huge data every second. Now we have such technology where we can store and secure huge data. It’s depend on companies how they want to utilize these data. Through analysis data we can we can give better and informed care to patients and predict the risk in patient before occurring. If any industries want to take advantage of Data then they have to start storing and securing data right now. Data is basis of all new cutting edge technology. One can develop AI when they have huge huge data to work on otherwise AI will not give quality result. “To guarantee quality care we first have to measure, to measure, we need data.” Barriers in adopting new technology is cultural rather than technological.
