AI is increasingly proving to be highly effective in detecting diseases, though its effectiveness varies depending on the condition, data quality, and implementation. Tap to read!

Accuracy

Based on its ability to help detect diseases with an 84% accuracy rate, AI is considered a boon for image-based diagnosis of structured data.

Diabetes

AI makes use of the blood reports and their patterns to predict and manage diabetes and its complications in a more efficient way.

X-Ray

An AI reads an X-ray picture for the detection of fractures, pneumonia in the lungs, and lung diseases, with accuracy almost on par with expert radiologists.

Prescription Reading

AI reads difficult handwritten prescriptions, which checks for drug interactions and dosage and may do so with minimal errors.

Blood Pressure

AI uses real-time blood pressure data to predict the risk of hypertension and, hence, prevent strokes or heart-related problems.

Information credits

As per the research by the National Institute of Health, AI helps detect diseases accurately and early. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider with any questions regarding a medical condition.
