Gastroenterology and Artificial Intelligence: 2nd Annual Artificial Intelligence Summit | October 2020-Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Gastroenterology

Applications of Artificial Intelligence to Gastroenterology

Pdf Summary

Artificial intelligence (AI) has various applications in the field of gastroenterology. Computer vision is one such application that allows machines to "see" like humans, enabling the analysis of medical images. Electronic health records (EHR) play a crucial role in the digital transformation of healthcare, aiding in disease prediction, outcome assessment, and risk stratification. Natural language processing (NLP) helps computers understand human language, facilitating speech recognition and transcription of medical notes. AI voice technology can be used for medical dictation and providing instructions to patients. In addition, AI can aid in searching and analyzing medical images from research literature. AI in gastroenterology also extends to omics research and precision medicine, including the study of the gut microbiome, personalized nutrition, and metabolomics. <br /><br />Furthermore, micro-robots have been developed to assist in medical procedures. Looking forward, AI advancements in the field of gastroenterology are expected to continue making progress in areas such as speech, vision, language, search, and robotics. In the future, it is anticipated that AI tools will be able to answer queries and perform tasks such as pulling up specific medical images and transcribing notes in different languages. Overall, AI has the potential to greatly improve the field of gastroenterology by enhancing diagnosis, treatment, and patient care.
