Artificial intelligence as medical support, but not in Poland – Microsoft report

The latest report “The Potential of Artificial Intelligence in the Healthcare Sector” by Bill Gates’ company indicates that AI is becoming a standard in modern medicine. Artificial intelligence is able to improve the diagnosis of disease entities, selection and creation of drugs, and estimation of their effects during therapy. Unfortunately, Polish medical facilities are beyond the reach of most of these technologies.

According to the report, the Polish health care system has a problem with collecting, organizing and using data. This has huge implications for problems in general functioning. The report mainly highlights the problems in the financial and social layers, resulting from poor management, administration and lack of foresight in various situations. The remedy would be the helping hand of artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence in medicine?

AI with the right base of information can use it to create models of potential scenarios. This is useful for preventing adverse effects of management. It helps in planning and disposing of data, making it easier to manage finances, staff, patients and medical equipment. As a second area where artificial intelligence is already achieving its successes are testing and diagnosing patients, as well as treating and predicting the course of diseases in some patients, and generating predictions of the effects of drugs. Diagnostic imaging tests, which specialists in the report listed as: tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasonography, isotope methods, but also bioelectrics, such as. ECG, EEG, EMG.

– There is a trend in health care to increase the administrative burden in the doctor’s office and medical facilities. Artificial intelligence in the management of a healthcare entity is an opportunity for improvements and changes in management, organization and financial issues. Moreover, the use of AI will translate into improved quality of work for staff and services for patients of medical institutions – comments dr Łukasz Bruski.

Artificial Intelligence – succeed

AI helps doctors save lives and save health. Today we have to make sure that access to these opportunities is not only reserved for a select few, and becomes commonplace. The condition for the development of artificial intelligence in the health sector is access to integrated data and the development of qualified staff. We recognize these challenges and we want our $1 billion investment in the development of the Polish Digital Valley to provide access to the highest quality data processing technologies in Poland and to pave the way for the development of doctors’ and healthcare professionals’ competencies in the area of new technologies – says Tomasz Jaworski, Director of Digital Transformation of the Public Sector at Microsoft.

Service News.microsoft.com talks about an almost 20-fold reduction in the time of assessment of diagnostic material when diagnosing lesions in capsule endoscopy recordings. Moreover, the cost of producing relevant medical records is then reduced by more than 80 percent, and the number of medical consultations increases to potentially as many as 100,000 per month. Algorithmization of medical processes has a positive influence on improving both the comfort of a medical practitioner’s work, as well as his/her effectiveness. With fewer hardware and administrative problems, doctors can fully devote themselves to patients, protecting their health and lives. The report highlights that despite the success of artificial intelligence in these fields, its use is still a case study.

Case Study of Artificial Colleague Effectiveness

Telemedico has introduced artificial intelligence. As far as Telemedico is concerned, it is Central Europe’s largest provider of medical telecommunications. This telecommunication is done with the help of the platform and thanks to doctors from different continents, who conduct up to 100 thousand consultations in one month. This is relevant to the topic at hand, as this institution uses artificial intelligence technology and conducts research on the development of tools in its field. Telemedico improves in this way the survey of disease symptoms and tools supporting diagnostic analysis. A symptom checker (symptom checker) It analyzes the symptoms that a patient enters when making an appointment for a consultation. The patient then selects a specialty and a convenient appointment, and the systems algorithmize the interview process in the background, while the results are transmitted directly to the company’s databases without unnecessary participation of the doctor and the patient in the reporting process.

AI is not the domain of Polish medical facilities

Following the report, we will read in it the words of Dr. Aneta Sieradzka, who argues that 30% of the data stored in the world relates to our health, and the widespread use of AI solutions around the world is becoming a standard, but still remains beyond Polish reach. – Here the potential of AI is not used to improve the health care system, facilitate access to better health services and support the work of doctors and administrative staff of medical institutions – argues managing partner of law firm Sieradzka&Partners.
