- Computer scientist John McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence in 1956 to describe machines that can do tasks that were previously the preserve of humans.
- At present, algorithms have been developed that allow the analysis of thousands of clinical records in just a few seconds.
- There are tools as powerful as ChatGPT that have even been shown to answer highly complex medical questions.
In recent times there is a term that has gained prominence because it is repeated frequently. It’s about the Artificial intelligence and although it is already applied in different areas, in reality its scope is still not known with certainty. At the moment it is at the center of a large part of the technologies that drive what has been called the Fourth Industrial Revolution. But how has the doctor-patient relationship within the practice changed?
First of all, it should be explained that the idea behind these technologies is to combine series of algorithms that articulate machines and software with capacities similar to those of human beings. Although one peculiarity is that it can carry out these processes with greater precision and from much more exhaustive databases.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
The first thing to clarify is that it is a term with a long history. The person in charge of drafting the first definition was the computer scientist John McCarthy in 1956. Specifically, he said that it consists of creating machines that can perform tasks that were previously believed to be human. One of the most noticeable differences is the saving of time, in addition to an increase in efficiency.
The applications of the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning they are multiple and industrially powerful; however, over the last few years there has been a genuine paradigm shift in the media -both traditional and emerging- that disrupts the ways we consume and produce content.
Technology applied in Medicine
On the one hand, the portal BambergHealth claims that the Artificial Intelligence and Big Data They have the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry. In fact, in some cases they are already applied and available to both doctors and patients. But something very important that makes it clear is that technology does not have the capacity to replace doctors because there are aspects such as empathy that are impossible to replicate.
Now, according to Gustavo Parés, director of the Mexican company specialized in Artificial Intelligence, NDS Cognitive Labs, “we are at a suggestive turning point. In recent years, these technologies have been incorporated into creative processes in the sectors that produce content (the industry of ideas; film, music and even journalism), it has been possible to improve and energize products that are now created with decisions based on in data and analysis that help shape at least three spheres: the production, consumption and distribution of content”.
The importance of data and precision
The use of tools Artificial intelligence Yes, the doctor-patient relationship has changed, and in different ways. For starters, it is now possible analyze large amounts of data in a matter of seconds. There are already tools designed against high-mortality diseases such as breast cancer. From the information of each person it is possible to obtain a diagnosis of their risk.
The patient is the center of the strategy
“Artificial Intelligence has brought a complete twist to the ways we consume and produce content. It is a revolution of tangible benefits for companies and consumers that will continue to set the pace for innovations in the first half of the 21st century”.
In this context of development and innovation, there are other tools of Artificial intelligence that help to improve the experience of patients through the Internet. For example, the incorporation of chatbots has benefits for both parties. First, advise patients to receive an immediate response. While for doctors it allows them to make appointments and avoid losing work.
