In recent years, the healthcare industry has witnessed an exponential growth in data generation and technological advancements. With the emergence of machine learning, healthcare providers now have a powerful tool at their disposal to enhance diagnoses, streamline patient data reviews, and automate outcomes.
Leveraging the vast amount of medical information available, machine learning algorithms can analyze patterns, identify correlations, and make accurate predictions, revolutionizing the field of healthcare.
Diagnoses Reinvented
Machine learning algorithms are transforming the way diagnoses are made, enabling healthcare professionals to make more accurate and timely assessments. By leveraging large datasets and powerful computational capabilities, these algorithms can analyze symptoms, medical history, and test results to identify patterns that might not be immediately apparent to human clinicians. Moreover, machine learning models can continuously learn and improve by incorporating new data, ensuring that diagnoses remain up-to-date and relevant.
Patient Data Reviews Revolutionized
Gone are the days of manual patient data reviews that consume valuable time and resources. Machine learning algorithms can sift through vast amounts of patient data, including medical records, imaging scans, and genetic information, to extract meaningful insights quickly. These algorithms can detect hidden patterns, correlations, and anomalies within the data, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions and identify potential risks. By automating the data review process, machine learning streamlines workflows, allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care.
Automated Outcomes Enabled by Machine Learning
With the advancement of machine learning techniques, the potential for automated outcomes in healthcare is within reach. By analyzing historical patient data, machine learning algorithms can predict the likelihood of different treatment outcomes for specific conditions. This information can assist clinicians in selecting the most effective interventions, optimizing patient care and improving overall outcomes. Moreover, machine learning algorithms can provide decision support systems that aid in personalized treatment plans, medication recommendations, and disease management.

So what is Augmented Reality Technology anyway? In it’s simplest form it is fusion of an interactive experience. It connects the real-world with a computer-generated one. You can use mobile devices, Smart Glasses, AR contact lenses, VR displays or special hardware. Google jumped into the world early, with the hope of pushing consumer technology forward. Google Glass arrived with fanfare and the possibilities were endless.
With the might of Google how could it fail? Unfortunately it did, but not totally. Google Glass was pricey, and possibly just too ahead of it’s time. Also many had concerns over privacy and how data was being used. However Google did help to push the technology forward. Augmented Reality hasn’t died. It merely has morphed and moved forward, in various forms. Amazon and Samsung have plans, along with a host of other companies. The glassware form of AR is only one aspect of the technology. Continue to follow as we delve into other areas of AR and it’s possible impact in the healthcare field.

The importance of inclusion and diversity is clearly a hot topic – the #MeToo Movement, #NoMoreManels being promoted by the Globe & Mail’s Andre Picard, and even Digital Health Canada’s Top 10 Women Leaders Award – have all helped highlight the need for more to be done to support more women in leadership positions in Canadian workplaces and boards. Our next challenge also includes broadening and supporting diversity beyond gender, including race, age, sexual orientation and disability, to name a few.
We pride ourselves as Canadians as being diverse, but how are we really performing in eliminating bias and increasing our diverse pool of talent within digital health? Does better diversity and inclusion (D&I) increase your organization’s performance and ability to innovate? And lastly, how can digital health professionals and organizations (big and small) support better D&I initiatives?
