I’ve been pretty fascinated by the role AI is starting to play in healthcare. I use it regularly—mostly for data analysis, spotting trends, and cleaning up or rewriting complicated documents that need to be sharp and accurate.
AI’s strength really lies in its ability to synthesize the information it’s given. What it’s not great at is creating original content—it can only work with what it knows, so the input data has to be solid and trustworthy. That said, do I think healthcare AI has a place in imaging for tumor detection, exploration of pattern recognition, flagging potential prescription interactions, and similar use cases? Absolutely. Most of the major healthcare software platforms already have AI baked in to provide an extra layer of checks and balances.
It wouldn’t surprise me if, in the next few years, AI will replicate a provider’s voice and clinical decision-making process closely enough to handle basic interactions—still within the accepted protocols, of course.
We’re not that far off.
