When the coronavirus pandemic hit, in early 2020, healthcare organizations were among the first entities to be affected.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The growing demand of aging, fragile populations was\u00a0met by outdated and inflexible systems and processes.\u00a0In parallel, healthcare providers\u00a0struggled to keep up with the unprecedented influx of COVID-19 patients.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, in this bleak landscape, there is a glimmer of hope.

That\u2019s just an unacceptable figure \u2013 and one that machine learning could help bring down drastically.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By moving to automated technologies such as computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition, to name a few, healthcare providers will be able to\u00a0identify the root cause of an illness, help with diagnosis, and even predict future outcomes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This happens because machines have a much smaller error incidence rate than humans.\u00a0And by feeding an AI product with the right, up-to-date data, physicians around the world will succeed in speeding up their assessment and perfect their diagnoses, with great results for the population.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_%E2%80%A6And_Finding_the_Best_Possible_Cure_or_Treatment\"><\/span><strong>2. \u2026And Finding the Best Possible Cure or Treatment<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Once the real cause of a disease is identified, the step that should follow straight after is to decide on the best course of action. Some conditions can be cured, restoring a patient to their health. Others can be treated to allow the patient to minimize their physical and mental discomfort.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Whatever the case,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/uruit.com\/machine-learning-consulting\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">machine learning<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0is an essential tool in helping doctors and medical staff craft a bespoke cure or treatment for a\u00a0patient.\u00a0These technologies can\u00a0analyze\u00a0ideal patient outcomes, linguistic features, and context-specific patterns, producing better recommendations for users.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After the initial assessment has taken place, the patient in need of treatment will be able to access it more quickly and efficiently. This can happen through a personalized digital healthcare product, which can build a bespoke experience to enhance the patient\u2019s health and always keep them in touch with real-life healthcare providers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Connecting_Patients_With_Doctors\"><\/span><strong>3. Connecting Patients With Doctors<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While we are talking about connecting patients with medical professionals, it\u2019s important to highlight that this is another area in which machine learning can prove very useful.\u00a0Chatbots and intelligent filters can facilitate the initial communication between healthcare providers\u00a0and the general population.\u00a0During this first contact, the machine will gather as much data as possible on the patient, their condition, and the type of assistance that they need.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Following this, they will be able to lead them to the right healthcare provider. This can have a very important and positive impact on issues that have historically plagued the healthcare system, such as long waiting times, over-burdened doctors, and\u00a0complicated\u00a0internal processes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Through the use of\u00a0intelligent technology, patients will no longer need to wait long periods of time to receive a response to their medical query. This occurs thanks to accurate, sophisticated algorithms, that effectively \u201cmatch\u201d a patient to the right account manager pretty much at the touch of a button.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A good example of this kind of matching algorithms is the automatic Spoken Language Identification (LID). This is\u00a0a common AI feature through which clinics can automatically redirect calls to someone who speaks the same language. Being able to speak their native language empowers patients to take control of their healthcare, and advocate for their needs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ultimately, this translates into greater quality of care for all \u2013 a fundamental aspect in all healthcare situations, and particularly in emergency ones.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Assisting_Surgeons_During_Complex_Operations\"><\/span><strong>4.

This machine enables surgeons to perform highly complicated surgeries, sometimes in small spaces, with maximum precision and steadiness by handling robotic limbs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Other machine learning technologies\u00a0can be\u00a0applied to the hair transplantation surgery area. These tools harness computer vision and machine learning to calculate the distance between specific \u2013 and often minuscule \u2013 body parts, to increase the accuracy when performing surgery on them.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Streamlining_Recordkeeping_for_Medical_Practices\"><\/span><strong>5.
