How Technology Will Save Healthcare: 5 Predictions

A recent article by GE Healthcare “The Future of the Healthcare Workforce: 5 Predictions For 2022” made us realize: the future of health technology is already here.

 

We elaborate using the example of the WellAI for Medical Providers solution.

 

Every prediction in the article is addressed by WellAI’s diagnostic technology:

 

1. Innovation to Reduce Burnout and Solve the Staffing Crisis: Within our clients, we have seen heightened attrition and turnover. WellAI’s rapid triage capability reduces triage time and allows front office personnel to see more patients without adding staff and handling existing patients with higher levels of engagement.
2. Separating the Wheat from the Chaff When It Comes to AI: WellAI has a distinct place within patient/clinician workflows and provides the pre-diagnostic evaluation and reporting (including EMR and Telehealth integration) that enables practitioners to reduce the need to acquire information and, in one place, it provides the medical documentation and support to validate the diagnosis. It enhances existing workflows and streamlines communication.
3. Reduction of Healthcare Inequities: This principle is at the heart of WellAI.  The company was created with a vision to eliminate the information asymmetry – in particular, WellAI offers access to scientific second opinion tools to the underprivileged, uninsured, people of low income and those who would like to be self-triaged before going to the doctor’s office. WellAI’s applications are easily deployed across many different populations – all that is needed is a smartphone or browser. The application puts sophisticated diagnostic validation in the hands of even the most remote patients and enables them to have one-click access to providers as and when needed, it can integrate with and enhance remote-patient monitoring solutions. WellAI’s data scientists are keeping abreast of recent research on racial and gender biases in data science.
4. Telemedicine is More Integral to Healthcare Delivery: By integrating WellAI’s triage solution to existing telehealth or using our data-driven Telehealth 2.0 capability, the speed at which telehealth delivery is offered and the engagement of the practitioner is significantly up-leveled.
5. Precision Medicine Will Revolutionize Healthcare Delivery: WellAI has already moved diagnostics into the hands of the patient. With the ability to identify more than 500 health conditions, the solution is on its way to handling a broader complement of diseases. The potential exists to create a library of specific solutions: nephrology, oncology, urology, etc. using the same AI framework. We have already created a computer vision model focused on dermatology.

 

WellAI’s unique AI engine and framework that our team has designed has the ability to assimilate very large amounts of data and enable more precise diagnostic execution.

 

The future of health technology is knocking on the door.  Medical providers just need to open that door ever so slightly.
