This is especially helpful for sharing personalized educational content or interactive learning experiences. For example, AI can generate information about managing blood sugar levels to share with a patient diagnosed with diabetes. Or, the AI can generate responses to the patient’s questions about their diagnosis, helping them to better understand their condition.
Personalized care
It’s no mystery that data analysis can inform decisions on patient care. AI optimizes this process by analyzing a patient’s genetic makeup and medical history to create personalized treatment plans. In fact, providers can use generative AI in healthcare for the following processes:
- Diagnosis. Researchers can train generative models to identify patterns related to diseases based on medical records and imagery
- Treatment. While providers ultimately bear the responsibility of administering the correct treatment, generative AI can apply its analysis to decision-making tasks, such as proposing a treatment plan. It can also help organizations make better decisions about which facilities to direct their patients to for care.
- Follow-up. AI can leverage real-time data from monitoring devices to provide personalized recommendations based on patients’ adherence to post-treatment advice
In addition, analyzing patient data using AI can help these organizations uncover social determinants of health and resolve issues with transportation or financial problems that prevent them from getting care.
How healthcare organizations can implement generative AI
To adopt generative AI in healthcare, organizations must first prepare their data to ensure they equip their tool with accurate information. This process involves:
- Pinpointing valuable applications: Decide the specific use cases for which generative AI could bring value to your healthcare organization
- Collecting relevant data: Gather existing data from various sources into one database and collect new data if necessary
- Practicing good data hygiene: Ensure your data’s quality by standardizing input formats, removing duplicate entries, and otherwise keeping your database clean
The large volume of data required by generative AI in healthcare necessitates the use of a data storage and management system. Arcadia’s innovative data platform does more than store healthcare data — it transforms your organization’s data into actionable insights so you can deliver the highest quality of care.
