Barriers to Adoption of AI

Here are few of the barriers to adoptions of Artificial Intelligence

1. Government Regulations

The Current FDA regulations designed to protect humans from harm by machines rate AI as a class 3 risk to humans. This will make it difficult to change laws to allow AI increased direct Interaction with patients.

2. Accountability 

There are laws in place to protect humans working in the medical field in the case they make a mistake, but what happens when AI makes a mistake?  These mistakes could be due to a missed update or incorrect data.  In these cases, it is currently unclear who would be at fault: The developer of the machine or the hospital using the machine? 



3. Data Integrity 

Data integrity is the accuracy and completeness of the collected data, and data is what drives AI’s capacity for Machine Learning. The data that influences ML must have a wide variety of different classes, sources, and types. To be useful it must also be representative of relevant populations, as there are different variables that would be overlooked if the samples are not inclusive.

Machine Learning in Pharmaceutical Research and Development

Image
Lets look at the Pharmaceutical Industry for a minute...  Its a complex and competitive world out there for a multitude of reasons: There are time limits on patented treatments, customers have more bargaining power, and we are moving on to tackle more complex diseases. The more complex the disease, the more complex the research and development (R&D) phase for treatments. The R&D pipeline for treatments of rare, chronic, degenerative diseases is lengthy and costly, with many false starts and do-overs involved. How does it work? A simplified version is that researchers test the interaction of different molecules to gauge is a combination would be effective in killing the molecules of the disease in question. The process is traditionally done by human researchers using vast amounts of data about the properties of molecules to see the interaction between multiple molecules, and then their interaction with the disease.  As you can guess, its an extremely time consuming and ...

A Machine Learning in Healthcare SWOT Analysis

Image
  Photo by National Cancer Institute on Unsplash Machine Learning is making sweeping improvements to many industries, healthcare being one of them.  The impact ML can have on a sector or industry is as unique as the industry itself. Pharmacology is able to refine products by miniscule amounts to ensure quality and safety. The layer of coating that covers pill tablets is being reevaluated for accuracy by ML's capacity to find novel patterns in vast amounts of data. Resource management in hospitals is able to track inventory in real-time, giving physicians updates on what supplies are available. This is also helping in streamline the patient intake process. Radiologists are using AI to help identify chronic pulmonary hypertension faster using ML to find new pattern indicators. Personalized medicine, or precision medicine, is using ML to create treatment plans specific to a patient with increasing accuracy using predictive analysis.  So where does this leave business manager...
