Various fields have been impacted by the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, including medicine, where this technological progress should be considered as a tool to improve the quality of healthcare for patients, stated Professor Víctor Hugo Méndez Domínguez during his conference “Artificial Intelligence in Medicine,” held as part of the 190th anniversary of the Faculty of Medicine at UADY.
How will AI be utilized?
Artificial Intelligence is generating a very interesting change because we are talking about improving the accuracy and accessibility of treatment information, something that has a positive impact on medicine and, therefore, on people’s health and lives.
What advantages do you see in this technological advancement?
The revolutionary advancement of artificial intelligence has opened up new possibilities in various professional fields, and in the case of medicine, we must take advantage of it to improve precision, efficiency, and accessibility, particularly in effective diagnoses.
Do professionals trust this technology?
This tool has proven to be invaluable in supporting medical diagnoses, as algorithms analyze images and studies to detect patterns that provide an almost immediate response.
How does it achieve such effectiveness?
Artificial intelligence relies on the vast database found in the cloud to gather as much information as possible and thus provide more accurate results.
How much could it be involved in medicine?
While its greatest support will be in diagnosing patients’ diseases, its usefulness has also been proven in medication and monitoring individuals, among other areas. This enables doctors to make better decisions as they have more information to determine the course of action.
Aren’t you afraid it will replace doctors?
Despite the importance of Artificial Intelligence as an aid to the healthcare sector, we do not believe that this technology will ever replace the physical care provided by a human professional to patients.
