Using AI And ML To Transform Care Delivery Processes

By the end of 2024, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) had established themselves as the main transformative forces behind recent technological advancements in healthcare. A report by Silicon Valley Bank states that in 2024, the amount of VC investment in health AI in the U.S. was expected to reach $11.1 billion, the highest number since 2021.

In my experience, the main driver behind the AI investment and adoption craze is the measurable value technology offers healthcare providers. A 2023 National Bureau of Economic Research study indicates that integrating AI can save the U.S. healthcare system up to $360 billion annually. A 2023 survey by the AMA shows that physicians see AI as a way to reduce the administrative burden of documentation (54%) and improve workflow efficiency (69%).

But do these positive changes reflect on the quality of care, and do patients benefit from AI and ML-powered solutions? In this article, I share my take on the transformative potential of AI and ML in the modern care delivery process.
