Associate Professor, School of Information Systems and Management, University of South Florida, cum former IAS, Dr. Shivendu, today said that information technology should not only be used for biometric attendance and exchange of information, but also to revolutionize the betterment of health facilities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used as a corrective technology, which can provide a better solution to this problem. Artificial Intelligence can help in many ways, which is essential to fill the gap between the available health resources. Artificial intelligence offers a solution that can act as a primary layer for the underserved to receive health advice.
Dr Shivendu said that the barriers of affordability and access can be overcome by introducing Artificial Intelligence (AI). Computers can be made more useful and accessible by understanding complex principles and simplifying them for human understanding and use. Healthcare facilities are emerging as the biggest recipients of the AI revolution globally, but have a huge dependence on investment. If the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare is increased, it will facilitate delivery of services along with scientific research results.
