AI was first used in the health care setting in the early 1970's with a program called MYCIN. MYCIN was created to help identify blood infections.

In today's modern medicine, it is being used in psychiatry, radiology, primary care settings, diagnostics, and telemedicine.
AI plays into the health field is it has the ability to analyze data and help get results faster to the patients. It also assists in administrative responsibilities.
AI expedites drug researches and developments. It test for the drugs effectiveness as well as figuring out who the drug would be good for.

In this TedTalk, you learn that AI has great impact in radiology and imaging as well as in administrative areas to reduce burn out. It also provides a reassuring atmosphere because it encrypts data and any safety concerns.

In 2025 we should expect to see health cost decrease thanks to the efficiency of AI. AI being used in the health care field allows facilities to expand their efforts, build a better security system around patient data, as well as strengthening the outpatient care with Telehealth.

Thanks to AI in healthcare, there is a huge societal impact:

Reduction in burn out from doctors
Faster test and diagnostic readings equal earlier detection
Wearable devices

AI in healthcare takes major weight off providers and patients shoulders. Allowing AI to be involved with imaging, testing, diagnosing, etc it provides faster and more reliable care for all. While there are a lot of pros to AI in healthcare, there are some worries of AI replacing jobs of others and potentially malfunctioning.

I think that AI in the healthcare field while is scary is very innovative and shows how far we have come. Allowing AI to be apart of our health care system allows for people to get better more accurate care and allows for earlier detection of some diseases. While it is a bit scary because of the what ifs I like to think of the rewarding aspect of it. It allows doctors to have almost like an extra set of hands and takes a bit of the administrative workload off too. Things are changing and we have to learn to adapt to them but AI in our health care is nothing new.
