Future of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

AI in Drug Repurposing:

Further exploration into AI applications in healthcare reveals its impact on drug repurposing. AI
algorithms analyze existing drugs for potential uses beyond their original intended purposes. This
approach accelerates the drug discovery process, leading to faster and more cost-effective solutions,
particularly important in responding to emerging health crises.

AI and Telemedicine:

The report briefly touched on virtual health assistants, but the expanding role of AI in telemedicine
deserves additional attention. AI-driven chatbots and virtual assistants are playing a crucial role in
initial patient consultations, symptom checking, and appointment scheduling, streamlining the
healthcare delivery process.

Ethical Considerations and Bias Mitigation:

While AI holds great promise in healthcare, the report emphasized ethical considerations. Further
discussions on mitigating bias in AI algorithms and ensuring patient data privacy are vital. Transparent
AI development practices, regulatory frameworks, and ongoing ethical audits are essential to build
and maintain public trust in AI-driven healthcare solutions.
