So, should leaders in healthcare expect the emergence of a fully automated electronic physician, sonographer or surgeon as a replacement for the human healthcare professional? Can the development of AI in healthcare help overcome the difficulties the industry faces today? To figure all this out, I would like to analyze the current challenges of using AI in healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s<em> <\/em>discuss two promising examples: the application of AI in diagnosis and reading images, and the use of robotic systems in surgery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diagnostic Robots: Accuracy And Use For Treatment Recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The success of AI in diagnosing is confirmed by the results of its application in a number of medical studies \u2014 for example, in optical coherence tomography (OCT), which requires serious qualifications.
