rtificial Intelligence and Computing (CENTAIC) at PAF’S Air University to understand, develop and adopt AI in various functions of defense.
In the healthcare sector, one of the uses of AI is to improve patient satisfaction with better and faster diagnostic machines functioning at lower costs. These systems understand multiple languages and analyze various data sources to formulate a more precise hypothesis, diagnosis, and treatment plan. AI has been a catalyst for advancements like robotic surgery, 3D image analysis as well as biosensors that permit diagnoses and relevant treatments to be handled remotely. The pandemic has also encouraged technological advancements and has resulted in the creation of “telehealth” which is the use of digital information and communication technologies like smart watches and mobile phones to access health care services from a distance and manage your health.
Pakistan as a developing country, struggles with the burden of disease, lack of trained healthcare providers, and a poor healthcare infrastructure. These conditions make it ideal for AI to become revolutionary and reduce health inequality by detecting and diagnosing diseases in their early stages, reducing overall medical expenditure, and improving the efficacy and quality of existing services.
The Aga Khan University and Hospital in Pakistan is a leading institute investing in research and use of AI in Healthcare as well as in workforce engagement, automation of tasks, supervision and effective management. They use Machine Learning to analyze data on their patients’ demographics, waiting time, billing, customer surveys, and total length of stay to gain insight on factors affecting their patients’ expectations and overall satisfaction. They also use Machine Learning to help detect abnormalities in organ growth in the fetus stage.
In conclusion, Artificial Intelligence is a revolutionary innovation with great potential, especially in a developing country like Pakistan, and is slowly starting to make its mark in every sector. It represents huge opportunities and capabilities that are limitless. However, there is still a long way to go before Artificial Intelligence can be adopted at a large scale and can be used to its full potential in various industries.
