How has Cognitive Science helped in Curing Patients from Deadly Diseases?


Technology has always been advantageous for all kinds of industries, and the healthcare industry is no different. Whether it is the diagnosis or monitoring of a disease, artificial intelligence (AI) is reimagining the healthcare sector around the world. As AI technology helps in improving accuracy and efficiency in identifying and treating patients faster than ever, it serves the purpose most efficiently. Considering the rising risk of diseases that patients die of, AI is widely being implemented for the following.

Diagnosis- It is certainly one of the best benefits of the AI technology. There have been many surveys across the healthcare industry that indicate that AI could help discover the disease a patient is likely to suffer from in the near future. This not only helps in preventing the disease but also makes sure the disease doesn’t get worsened.

Monitoring- Diabetes, cholesterol, cardiac health, fertility issues are managed by regular monitoring and some lifestyle changes. AI can help in managing various health conditions and adjust the dosage of medicines along with lifestyle information, such as exercise, food habits, etc.
Image Analysis- A lot of pathological evolutions depend on image analysis. AI can help in screening the image in to give faster and more accurate results.

Apart from the above-cited ones, there are many other benefits of AI technology that can help in diminishing the rising risk of various chronic diseases.

Detecting Sepsis

Among deadly diseases that are difficult to cure, sepsis is one of the most expensive and lethal syndromes. It’s quite challenging to detect sepsis in the large part, as its symptoms can be mistaken for many other conditions. Inability to detect sepsis can increase the chances of an escalating problem and possible death too among the sepsis community.

Use of cognitive clinical success machine helps in identifying and preventing sepsis from increasing the deterioration of health. As per many reports across the healthcare industry, over 40% cases developed within the sepsis community were with specific kind of diseases, led to sepsis usually including the infections of the gut, lungs, urinary tract, etc. Use of cognitive machines has significantly helped in bringing down the number of sepsis patients.
