Artificial intelligence, allied to health

If we were to ask the most famous artificial intelligence based chat today about the role that data analysis plays in daily clinical practice, it would answer that it is increasingly important to contribute to improving people's health.

Artificial intelligence is a perfect ally of the physician throughout the care process. On the one hand, it contributes to the diagnosis and early detection of diseases by analyzing large amounts of health data such as medical history, medical imaging, or clinical test results. On the other hand, it helps streamline processes that in the past posed an additional burden for professionals and will serve to focus on more important tasks such as spending more time with their patients, while improving the efficiency of their work.

The latest technological developments of artificial intelligence in medical research seek the causes that may be causing the diseases, focusing, for example, on helping people avoid diseases or identify the health problems of a patient at much earlier stages in order to improve their quality of life, advance treatment and greatly reduce the cost of this by means of more effective and specific medicines. Medical professionals can now rely on tools that help them in all areas of their work, from finding the most suitable molecules and foods to prevent ailments and improve the quality of life of their patients, to accelerating the discovery of new drugs in clinical trials, through early diagnosis, treatments adapted according to comorbidities or personalized therapies based on data.

We cannot deny that AI is already part of health care through valuable and indispensable tools for physicians that contribute to improving people's health, but it is important to note that the clinical judgment of a trained health professional should never be replaced by any technology, and that is that the human part is that which gives value to analytical results, knows the patient in his/her environment, his/her psychology and everything that, in one way or another, can influence his/her health.

In short, physicians should never lose their Hippocratic vision towards the patient. A philosophy that still influences modern medical practice and will remain relevant as long as there are people seeking humane and compassionate medical care. Interpersonal skills can only be developed by a trained human being, which is why artificial intelligence will be used as a key ally for physicians, but not as an alternative.
