Machine learning: Remolding healthcare

By CIOReview | Friday, November 30, 2018

As technologies today are integral part of our everyday life healthcare industry cannot constraint itself from the rising waves of the machine learning. Machine learning tools provides healthcare sector, the facilities, with opportunities to improve patient results. Also, makes physicians work faster, hospitals and laboratories come up with a more accurate diagnosis.

Following are some of the ways of how machine learning algorithms help healthcare industry to treat diseases and improve patient care:

Detection at early stage: The unpredictable nature of tumors is the biggest threat to cure cancer. If doctors foresee how the tumor evolves they can be one step ahead and the probability of surviving of the patient rises. Predictive analysis helps to pick out the pattern from DNA mutation of the cancer patients and predicts the genetic changes. Also, there are some wearable medical devices which oversee heart disease at early stage and enable doctors and caregivers to take necessary precautions.

Diagnosis: Machine learning tools enable physicians to diagnose of various medical conditions accurately. The advanced algorithms are helping healthcare organizations to apply related technologies to unlock health data and power diagnosis. Medical machine learning not only helps doctors by providing decision-making answers but also collaborates with local machine learning algorithms to work together to identify troublesome areas for accidents leading to greater response.

Decision-making: Machine learning algorithms are capable to identify and recognize patterns of diseases. They support to take complicated clinical decisions and actions which save patient’s time, money and life.

Research: The way of drugs from the research lab to patients is long and costly. According to a research of the California Biomedical Research Association, a drug takes an average of 12 years to travel from lab to patients. By including machine learning tools in the drug discovery and repurposing processes are now able to cut both time and costs.

The dealings with healthcare are increasing the needs for machine learning’s intervention. Embracement of machine learning tools in healthcare provides benefits to the patients as well as doctors and physicians.
