Artificial intelligence and ML-based solutions are changing medical care. Healthcare AI solutions are a reality in many fields and specialties of medical help. Machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), natural language processing (NLP), and AI identify healthcare needs and help work faster, and with more accuracy. They use data patterns to make informed medical or business decisions quickly.
It is still a lot to overcome in achieving an AI-dependent healthcare industry. Most notably fears of mismanaged medical help due to machine error and lack of human oversight and data privacy concerns. Tech companies, governments, and healthcare providers are willing to invest and test out AI solutions for healthcare.
Now virtual nurses are available 24/7. They can answer questions, monitor patients, and provide quick answers, saving the healthcare industry a lot of money. Most virtual nursing assistants applications allow more regular communication between patients and care providers to prevent unnecessary office visits and hospital readmissions.
AI can analyze many medical images, clinical research trials, medical claims, and can identify patterns and insights often undetectable by manual human skillsets, helping doctors make more precise diagnoses. Clinicians can improve and customize patient care by combing medical data to predict or diagnose disease faster.
Technology such as voice-to-text transcriptions could help prescribe medications, order tests, and write chart notes.
Currently, image analysis is very time-consuming for human providers, but a machine-learning algorithm can analyze faster than humans. AI image analysis could support remote areas and even make telemedicine more effective. Patients can send pics of rashes, cuts, or bruises to determine necessary care.

Do you need help by developing software that can detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy faster, achieve earlier disease detection and faster diagnosis through computer-aided, AI-driven screening systems. We are ready to share our experience with you.
The solutions for diabetic retinopathy diagnosis analyze images to detect anomalies and subtle morphological changes in the fundus of the eye. Those, if unchecked, cause diabetic retinopathy and blindness. The manual inspection of fundus images is time-consuming, and it overburdens the ophthalmologists unnecessarily. They inspect multiple fundus screens (most of which display no signs of diabetic retinopathy) to diagnose the condition before critical damage to the optic disk, exudates, and blood vessels is caused.
Those solutions assist ophthalmologists in diagnosing diabetic retinopathy by detecting the first signs of the condition in dozens of thousands of images per minute and arranging “healthy” and “unhealthy” screens in separate folders. It gives the doctors more time to look into disputable cases to diagnose more accurately and efficiently to prevent lifelong blindness in patients at scale.
Trained on thousands of eye screens by expert ophthalmologists, the ML-based solutions detect and classify pathology accurately.
By scaling the expertise of ophthalmologists, the solutions reduce eye screening costs, helping address the needs of low-income families.
The combination of faster screening and more accurate diagnosis allows to spend precious doctor time more efficiently and cuts triage costs.
With deep/iterative learning on board, the solutions learn new features automatically extracted from eye screens to improve outcomes.
Such solutions can predict avoidable after-discharge readmission cases of heart failure, and reduce 30, 60, and 90 days readmission risk with an ML-based risk management model.
Readmission risk prediction ML solutions help healthcare providers focus on high-risk patients who can avoid readmission if additional care is provided, thereby noticeably reducing the risk for 30-, 60-, and 90-day readmissions.
Among our projects we developed solutions that are usually designed to predict heart failure readmission risk, rank patients by their risk level, and identify potentially avoidable causes. The software analyzes a wide range of clinical factors and identifies predictable readmission risk as early as possible.
If there’s a proper custom dataset of non-clinical socio-economic factors, it can be included in the solution’s database for significantly more accurate prediction.
