The importance of machine learning and AI technology in healthcare

Image
With artificial intelligence (AI) continuing to dominate conversations among healthcare’s strategic thinkers, it’s clear that recent innovations in this field could herald a step-change in healthcare delivery. AI’s ability to mimic human intelligence and machine learning (ML)’s capacity to learn from vast amounts of data means these technologies are fast becoming indispensable tools for healthcare leaders who want to optimize operations. Understanding how they work – and where to apply them for maximum impact – will be crucial to stay ahead of the competition as the revenue cycle landscape evolves. This article breaks down the what, why and how of AI technology in healthcare, and includes a look at Experian Health’s new AI-based claims denial solution, AI Advantage. View More  AI in healthcare

How can we design better software for the life sciences?

Image
 Transparency in Information Analysis One of the main reasons for developing life science software is to automate some part of an analytical process through the use of algorithms, easing the burden on scientists. Often, most of the logic of an algorithm tends to be abstracted away from the users - it’s a ‘black box’ that no one can see into to make sense of. Information Hierarchy A major challenge in the life sciences is the scale and richness of biological data. When using software tools for accessing or manipulating large biological datasets, it is easy to become overwhelmed, miss what you are looking for, and miss opportunities for discovery. Life Sciences Software Flexible Workflows Scientific workflows can switch rapidly from the ordinary to the novel as researchers respond to signals in their data. Software interfaces need to support streamlined completion of routine tasks as well as facilitating detours for more in-depth data exploration. Encouraging Exploration of Results S...

Virtual Reality Therapy for Mental Health

Image
Virtual Reality (VR) is quickly becoming a significant player in the mental health field. With its ability to provide immersive, distraction-free environments and access to therapies that were not previously available, VR is revolutionising the way mental health care is delivered. At its core, VR creates a 3D environment that can be experienced through a specially designed headset. This simulated world is created to replicate the real world, giving the user a feeling of presence and immersion in the environment. The technology is being used in various fields, including gaming, education, and training, but its application to mental health care is relatively new and compelling. Therapies include virtual Reality to treat mental health issues, from mild to severe. For example, VR has been used to successfully treat phobias, such as fear of heights and other kinds of social phobias. VR therapy is a type of psychotherapy that utilises virtual reality technology to treat mental health issues....
