Data analytics has been playing a pivotal role in revolutionizing the user experience across industries, and the healthcare industry is also a part of this new digital revolution. The scenario in the healthcare industry is changing as cutting edge healthcare data analytics is playing a significant role to bring about a paradigm shift.
How can healthcare cognitive science become a game changer?
Leveraging the power of healthcare data analytics and machine intelligence, doctors and medical practitioners are not just able to provide better care, but they are now also able to identify patients who are on a heightened risk trajectory and thus can provide timely interventions. The power of machine intelligence is enormous. It lets doctors predict future health risks and enable them to alter it for a better patient outcome.
Recently several healthcare technology innovators have come up with innovative solutions where they are using machine learning and massive data sets to identify such patients and suggest patient-specific intervention plans using prescriptive analytics.
Apart from producing better health outcomes, it is also able to save a lot of money that is spent globally every year on the healthcare system.
How will this prescriptive analytics machine be a life savior?
Medical practitioners are of the opinion that by using this smart machine backed by prescriptive analytics, caregivers are now able to provide better care to patients. Some of the scenarios in which cognitive clinical AI is helping healthcare professionals are - avoiding readmissions, identifying and attending more quickly to patients at risk of mortality, providing personalized intervention to patients, reducing instances of hospital-acquired diseases and so on.
The power of healthcare cognitive science and how far it can be leveraged is unimaginable. However, if done right, we would surely be taking a giant leap in medical sciences.
