The Benefits and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: Current and Future Applications and Hardware Considerations

By Robert Knorr, Marketing Lead, Bressner

Artificial intelligence (AI) has found its way into many areas of our lives in recent years, and the technology is also being used more and more frequently in medicine. But what are the advantages of using artificial intelligence, what are the current and future application scenarios, and what challenges does medicine face on the hardware side in order to achieve them? 

Advantages of the Use of AI in Medicine

There are many advantages to integrating AI into medical practice. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to use complex medical data more effectively. AI can be used to analyze large data sets and identify patterns in that data that would be difficult for human physicians to detect. In addition, AI can help improve diagnoses by helping doctors identify diseases that might otherwise be missed.

Another benefit of using AI in medicine is that it helps physicians make better decisions. AI-based systems can combine information from multiple sources to provide physicians with better decision-making tools. For example, AI systems can combine genetic data, medical data, hospital data, and other relevant information to create personalized diagnoses and treatment plans.

Artificial intelligence is already being used in some scenarios in medicine

Radiology: One example of the use of AI in radiology is the identification of lung cancer on X-ray images. AI systems can automatically analyze X-ray images and detect abnormalities that could indicate cancer. This can help make lung cancer detection earlier and more accurate.

Genomics: Another use case for AI in medicine is genomics. AI-based systems can analyze genetic data and identify patterns in that data that are difficult for human physicians to detect. This can help develop personalized treatment plans for patients based on their specific genetic traits.

Preventive Medicine: AI systems can also be used to predict the risk of disease before symptoms appear. AI-based systems can collect and analyze patient data to predict the risk of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This can help develop prevention strategies to reduce the risk of disease.

Technology also has a lot in store for the future:

Robotics: AI systems can be used in robotics to perform complex surgical procedures. Robots can operate with high precision and can also learn, thanks to AI systems, allowing them to adapt to different situations and achieve better results.

Drug Development: AI-based systems can also be used in drug development. AI can combine genetic data, disease trajectories and treatment data to develop new drugs that are better suited to specific diseases.

Health Monitoring: In the future, AI-based systems could also be used in health monitoring. Wearables and other medical devices can continuously collect and send data to AI systems, which can then predict health status and risk of disease.

AI promises technological development in the entire medical field.

Hardware Challenges Related to Performance
There are many challenges in integrating AI into medical hardware, especially in terms of performance. AI systems require large amounts of data and must be able to process that data quickly to achieve high performance. This requires powerful hardware, especially in terms of processors and memory. Another challenge is that medical devices often have limited resources, especially in terms of power consumption and size. AI systems must therefore be designed to operate efficiently while taking into account the limited space and energy consumption of medical devices.

Conclusion

Overall, the use of AI in medicine offers many benefits, and there are many current and future use scenarios that can be explored. However, performance and hardware challenges must be considered to ensure that AI-based systems can be used effectively in medical practice.
