1. Introduction
Gone are the days when Artificial Intelligence (AI)
was considered science fiction; we are increasingly
seeing tangible, real-world impact of AI across
various industries, including healthcare.
Digital transformation, like in other sectors, is
believed to transform the provision of healthcare,
by enabling the provision of accessible, affordable
and quality healthcare to people. Many countries,
enabled by AI technologies, are showing progress in
transforming the legacy models from being physician
centric to become more patient centric.
This report focuses on the evolution of AI in
healthcare, key AI technologies, the impact of AI on
jobs and business models, the future scope of AI, and
trends in adoption of AI within healthcare. The report
also touches on how AI is helping key stakeholders
like hospitals, diagnostic labs and pharmaceutical
companies in various ways, along with covering the
key AI healthcare vendors including large technology
companies and emerging start-ups alike.
Advances in AI have accelerated the innovation
landscape in healthcare, resulting in improved
health outcomes whilst reducing the cost of
providing healthcare.
AI is now enabling new possibilities in healthcare
which were assessed as not feasible earlier. For
example, due to the digitization of health records in
most of the advanced economies using Electronic
Health Record (EHR) applications, mining of
unstructured medical data is possible now and
using this, various evidence-based decisions can
be readily taken by physicians. Big tech companies
like IBM and Google are leveraging a huge quantum
of data to continuously train their programmes or
platforms for advanced healthcare applications
like treatment protocol support, drug discovery,
diagnosis of diseases and others. IBM’s Watson and
Google’s DeepMind are solving real-world problems
in medicine, free from cognitive biases, by partnering
with various healthcare players.
INTRODUCTION1.
GROW FOR TOMORROW

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2. Executive Summary
AI already has multiple applications in healthcare
ranging from automated imaging to intelligent drug
design and AI powered surgical robots. Currently, the
healthcare industry employs data mining to develop
early detection systems by using clinical and diagnosis
data. Tech giants, such as Google and IBM are using
AI to unearth patient data which is both structured and
unstructured,, extracted by mining the medical records
or by deciphering physician-patient interactions.
2.3 The emerging landscape of AI
technology providers in healthcare
In the last couple of years, we have seen numerous
start-ups entering the healthcare sector to provide
AI solutions using their machine learning and big data
analytics capabilities, and a number of these start-
ups getting acquired by bigger and more established
companies. Google acquired DeepMind in 2014 to
compete with major tech companies and gain a
stronghold of deep learning in healthcare. Another
tech giant, Intel acquired Nervana Systems, a deep
learning start-up in 2016.
2.4 Challenges to AI adoption in
healthcare and the way forward
The adoption of AI in healthcare is currently at an
initial stage with the growth being slow due to paucity
of digitization of patients’ records in many of the
emerging economies. The fear of losing jobs has also
slowed down the adoption of AI among healthcare
workers. Nevertheless, AI adoption is estimated
to increase in the future, thereby, improving the
diagnosis and treatment procedure in healthcare.
AI in healthcare would have advantages of increased
efficiency leading to higher volume of care delivered
,and lowering costs of treatment, resulting in higher
profits, and employment opportunities.
2.1 The rise of AI in healthcare
AI has been breaking grounds in the healthcare sector
by assisting doctors, hospitals, pharma companies and
others in tackling practical challenges. There has been
an increase in the number of companies focusing on
implementing AI in the healthcare sector. A growing
population across the globe is witnessing (and
contributing to) a shortage of healthcare workers, and
the gap is seen to be widening over time. As per the
World Health Organization (WHO), the world will be
short of about 13 million healthcare workers by 2035.
Advanced and developed economies like US,
Germany, Canada, Australia and the UK spend a huge
proportion of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
on healthcare. However, the adoption of emerging,
proven technologies like AI is yet to gain importance
in their health systems. In most of these economies,
irrespective of the stages of development, the cost and
demand for care is rising, thereby increasing the need
for digital technologies like AI.
Recently, the US market has seen a relatively greater
adoption of AI technology primarily to decrease
the cost of care and improve the outcomes. This
was driven by regulatory push for value-based
care through various legislations, which forced the
providers to adopt EHR platforms. In the UK, the
National Health Service (NHS) deployed an AI-based
Chatbot on trial last year, to ease pressure on the
emergency triage process.
2.2 Healthcare applications of AI
AI involves the use of technologies such as Natural
Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning, Context
aware processing, and Intelligent Robotics, which
help AI in providing robust solutions to the healthcare
sector. When analytics is coupled with AI, it can play a
crucial role in data mining of medical records, thereby
becoming an effective platform in the healthcare
sector. While analytics is based on pre-defined set
of programs, AI has the capability to self-learn using
historical data.

EVOLUTION OF AI IN HEALTHCARE
3. Evolution of AI in Healthcare
AI has been breaking grounds in the healthcare sector
by assisting doctors, hospitals, pharma companies and
others in tackling practical challenges. There has been
an increase in the number of companies focusing on
implementing AI in the healthcare sector. Recently, it
has been observed that hospitals and other players
are shifting from using the cloud platforms solely for
data storage to using the infrastructure for customized
AI-based applications like clinical decision support,
patient diagnosis, drug discovery and so on, largely
due to the various capabilities of cloud platforms like
Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, IBM
Bluemix and others.
3.2 Leading technology players
can potentially disrupt the AI
healthcare market
IBM’s Watson, a specialized AI platform, which
competes with human intelligence, has recently
proven to have enormous potential in healthcare,
after it managed to diagnose a woman suffering from
leukaemia. Now, AI is being deployed in various other
applications such as mining medical records, designing
treatment plans, assisting in repetitive jobs, providing
consultations, drug creation, using avatars for clinical
training, among others.
Google is also creating waves of disruption using AI for
healthcare through DeepMind – capable of detecting
and analyzing health risks through data collection and
predictive analytics. Google recently partnered with
UK’s NHS in a healthcare AI project using computer
vision algorithms. In this partnership, Google is helping
NHS in analyzing the medical images collected from
patients for detecting cancer at an early stage.
Among the many technology changes over the last
decade, we have seen the substantial growth of
data analytics for handling, processing, and gainfully
using large amounts of data. However, since data
analytics can only work with historical data and
give outcomes as predefined by humans, specific
rule-based algorithms were developed to augment
data analytics, thereby imparting the ‘self-learning’
capability to computers, which is now referred to as
“Machine Learning”. Machine learning did not require
the computers to be explicitly programmed, which
is a definitive advantage. Machine learning was then
combined with data analytics to analyze data and
develop complex algorithms to predict models, which
was named as predictive analytics. Predictive analytics
is driven by a set of rules defined by humans, known
as predictive algorithms which are used to analyze
historical data to predict future outcomes.
3.1 AI is now addressing identified gaps
in healthcare services
With its growing population, the world is seeing a
shortage of healthcare workers, and this gap continues
to widen. As per the World Health Organisation
(WHO), the world will be short of about 13 million
healthcare workers by 2035. Moreover, training
physicians and health workers has been challenging
as the demand for qualified trainers remains largely
unmet in various countries.
Despite advanced technologies and developments,
there were some discrepancies between the outcomes
and the results predicted by humans which led to
the evolution of AI. AI mainly refers to systems and
computers that have been designed to provide
solutions to problems without the need for human
inference. With the concept of AI gaining popularity
in the recent years, healthcare has been able to cope
with some of the present challenges.
3.
GROW FOR TOMORROW

With the increasing volumes of healthcare data captured using cloud-based
applications, AI would eventually become a fool-proof and scalable solution,
covering the whole spectrum of clinical applications from prevention to
diagnostics to treatment, as well as non-clinical applications like patient
engagement, workflow process and claims processing.
3.3 AI and Analytics
Analytics and AI can go hand in hand to make work more simple and efficient. Analytics relies on combined
capabilities of computer programming, statistics and operations research to quantify performance. It is
used to interpret large amount of data and draw meaningful conclusions out of the available data. When
analytics is coupled with AI, it can play a crucial role in data mining of medical records and become an
effective platform in the healthcare sector. Along with data mining, analytics can be used with AI to develop
predictive models which can help doctors diagnose diseases at an early stage. In order to achieve the above
outcomes, analytics and AI need to work in conjunction, which would not only improve but revolutionize the
healthcare sector.
The following table compares AI and Analytics on several parameters.

3.4 Current Trends of AI in Healthcare
The healthcare sector is undergoing rapid
transformation globally due to AI. Following are some
of the current AI trends in healthcare.
›› AI has already been deployed in a few hospitals
to diagnose critical diseases, such as cancer. This
is advantageous as it provides more accuracy
in detecting the condition at an early stage. For
example, Enlitic, a US based medical imaging start-
up, is using deep learning for tumour detection;
its algorithms have been designed to detect
tumours in human lungs with the help of Computed
Tomography (CT) scan.
›› AI is currently being used in data mining of medical
records. IBM Watson Health is helping healthcare
organizations apply cognitive technology to unlock
vast amounts of health data to power diagnosis.
›› AI-based chatbots are being used as health
assistants and personal trainers. Some of the use
cases of chatbots in healthcare include scheduling
doctor appointments, providing medication
reminders, and identifying the condition based on
symptoms. Start-ups like Babylon Health and Your
MD are well-known AI powered healthcare assistant
applications, which helps physicians, patients and
care-givers in the above functionalities.
›› AI-powered surgical robots are currently being
conceptualized by many technology companies,
by leveraging the capabilities of machine learning
applications like Google DeepMind, IBM Watson
and others. Deploying robots with AI capabilities
can result in less damage, increased precision and
speedy recovery.
›› The growing application of AI technologies can also
be seen in drug discovery. Helix, an AI start-up uses
machine learning to respond to verbal questions
and requests, thus enabling researchers to increase
efficiency, improve lab safety, stay updated on
relevant research topics, and manage inventory.
›› It is now possible to automate drug design and
compound selection due to AI. Peptone uses AI with
Keras and TensorFlow integration to predict protein
characteristics and features which would enable
researchers to reduce complexity in protein design,
detect production and characterization issues, and
discover novel protein features.
›› AI is also widely used in clinical trials, like GNS
Healthcare which uses AI to transform diverse
streams of biomedical and healthcare data into
computer models. The models enable doctors to
identify patients’ responses to treatments based
on their characteristics, thereby, helping deliver
personalized medicine and treatment at scale.
3.5 Applications of AI in healthcare
currently in the experimental phase
›› With the help of deep learning and cognitive
computing, AI is helping in the ongoing research
to prevent, halt, or reverse the ageing process, i.e.,
to discover solutions to prevent early ageing. The
aim is to develop medicines to prevent and cure
a broad range of diseases associated with ageing
such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Cardiovascular
diseases.
›› Healthcare sector is also witnessing the
experimental phase of AI being used in voice and
face recognition to mimic a therapist, as developed
by SimSensei. SimSensei is a therapy automation
platform, acting as a virtual human interviewer,
which engages in interactions with patients at
deeper levels to help physicians in diagnosis of
specific conditions.
›› Verb Surgical, is working with Johnson &
Johnson and Alphabet to introduce surgical
robots using machine learning and advanced
visualization techniques.

AI IN THE GLOBAL HEALTHCARE MARKET
4. AI in the Global Healthcare Market
Recently, the US market has seen higher adoption
of AI to decrease the cost of care and improve
the outcomes. This was driven by regulatory push
for value-based care through various legislations,
which forced the providers to adopt EHR platforms.
The effective implementation of EHR can act as
a foundation for AI to leverage the medical data.
Healthcare, compared to other industries, will see a
greater potential for AI, addressing many challenges
relating to care provision, diagnostics, and drug
discovery.
In US, AI applications and platforms which have been
put to practical use, especially in hospital setting, have
resulted in tangible benefits like early diagnosis of
conditions, operational improvements like reduction of
wait time and improving care provision workflow, and
targeted therapy administration. It is expected that,
within the next two years, about 35% of healthcare
organizations plan to adopt AI to improve patient
experience. Arterys, which helps diagnose heart
problems in 15 seconds, was approved by Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) and has already been
put to use with its artificial self-learning network
across multiple cases. Mayo Clinic has collaborated
with health tech start-ups like Tempus and AliveCor.
Tempus helps Mayo Clinic offer customized treatment
options using genomic based therapy to treat
conditions like cancer. AliveCor, with its AI platform
helps Mayo Clinic in early detection of Cardiac
Arrythmia. Silicon Valley based El Camino Hospital
has drastically reduced the fall rate of patients by
analyzing the likelihood of falls using machine learning.
Similar to other industries, healthcare is witnessing a
shift to consumerization, pushing payers and providers
to focus on value-based care and improve the health
outcomes. Across various geographies, advanced
tools like AI are being implemented to address varied
stakeholders challenges and augment care provision.
In most economies, irrespective of the stages of
development, the cost and demand for care is rising,
thereby increasing the need for digital technologies.
It becomes imperative to provide seamless and
integrated care by leveraging the benefits of the
connected ecosystem, where patients, providers,
payers and other stakeholders are increasingly
adopting technology to simplify the processes.
Advanced and developed economies like US, Germany,
Canada, and UK spend a huge proportion of GDP
on healthcare, however, the adoption of proven
technologies like AI is yet to gain importance in their
health systems. Though US is the highest spender
on healthcare globally, as a percentage of its GDP, it
faces challenges like rising cost of healthcare provision,
shortage of primary care professionals, poor-quality
outcome and lack of coverage for a high percentage
of the population. US spends two and a half times
higher than the average of Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries on
healthcare, with significant proportion being out of
pocket or voluntary coverage. It also has the highest
rates of medication errors compared to other OECD
countries. The average insurance subscription in US
is about USD 400 a month and significant amount of
healthcare service contributions are co-payments / out
of pocket share.

GROW FOR TOMORROW

Canada is well-positioned to leverage the integrated
nature of its health system that provides access to a
large amount of data to test AI applications. Canada
is among the few nations, which has advanced AI
capabilities. Different researches are underway,
including a research by the Canadian Association of
Radiologists (CAR) to deploy AI-driven systems in
imaging by working with the federal government.
League, a health benefit start-up which provides the
digital alternative to traditional health, has recognized
that new risk models, claims adjudication, fraud
prevention, and care navigation are just a few areas
that will be impacted by AI. In Canada, the city of
Hamilton’s health department has collaborated with
IBM to build AI capabilities that can improve health
outcomes and decrease the cost of care, by leveraging
existing patient data.
The German Research Centre for AI (DFKI), covering
5 cities and 29 Fraunhofer institutes, is the biggest AI
research centre worldwide and is paving the way for
technologies that can reduce healthcare costs by more
than USD 170 billion in Europe in the next 10 years.
German AI start-up XBird, which has been accelerated
by Bayer pharma, uses data captured by smartphones
and wearables to analyze and detect adverse health
events before they occur, and can save disease
burden significantly.
Countries like UK and Australia, where healthcare is
majorly controlled by the government, face a lot of
challenges to provide effective coverage of treatment.
Some of the challenges include long waiting time
for elective surgery and higher burden of chronic
disease in rural areas. Compared to countries like
US and Canada, the healthcare systems of Australia
and UK, despite the superior quality of care, are yet
to achieve significant efficiency gains. This gap can
be addressed with the efforts of policymakers, by
incentivizing the adoption of digital tools like AI for
better patient outcomes.
In UK, the NHS put an AI-based chatbot, developed by
Babylon Health, on trial last year, to ease the pressure
on the emergency triage process. This is a part of
NHS’ goal of modernization. The chatbot helps in
categorizing the conditions based on the symptoms
witnessed by the patients thereby accelerating the
response time for minor complaints and reducing the
strain on services. start-ups like Babylon Health and
Ada are building sophisticated AI-powered doctor
consultation and diagnostic facilities to address
the challenges faced by the health system. These
platforms have been trained for several years using
real world cases and constantly ‘learn’ through positive
reinforcement feedback loops.
Chief Information Officers (CIO) in healthcare
organizations are ready to engage AI platforms to
achieve greater customer experience, particularly as
a recent survey by HCF revealed that over 80 percent
of Australians are comfortable with AI being used to
diagnose common medical problems and interpret
test results.

5.1 Key AI technologies transforming
healthcare
Technologies such as NLP, Deep Learning, Context
aware processing, and Intelligent Robotics are
seen as the backbone to build real-world AI. These
technologies are transforming the healthcare
landscape.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
AI plays an important role in converting complex data
into simple meaningful insights; and this work is made
easier by NLP. NLP focuses on mimicking human-like
responses, by using algorithms to respond to queries
and hold conversations. NLP in healthcare sector can
be used to summarize long narrative text, such as
academic journal articles or clinical notes by pointing
out the key concepts or phrases in the reference
document. NLP can also map data elements in EHRs,
which are present as unstructured text, into structured
meaningful data to improve clinical decision making.
For example, Intermountain Healthcare has used NLP
to identify the cause of an illness in a person, by mining
medical record data of patients to identify cases like
stroke, cancer, heart failure, and cases with venous
thromboembolisms (formation of blood clots in the
deep veins of the leg).
Deep Learning
The diagnosis and treatment of diseases is likely to
further improve with the implementation of AI in the
healthcare sector. Deep learning, a component of AI,
can be used to analyze medical data and images to
enhance the ability of physicians to treat diseases.
Deep learning can help the visually challenged make
sense of the environment, i.e., AI uses computer vision
and text-to-speech to narrate the text, identify facial
cues of the people nearby, study the surroundings and
describe the environment. Three trends that drive the
deep learning revolution include sophisticated neural
network algorithms modelled on the human brain,
more powerful Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and
access to the enormous amounts of data from the
internet. For example, IBM Watson is being trained to
help doctors with medical diagnosis using cognitive
computing and a deep learning approach.
Context Aware Processing
AI can be utilized for virtual assistant applications
like Apple’s Siri, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and
Microsoft Cortana, in the healthcare sector, which
can perform tasks as directed by the programmer. AI
chatbots, when used in healthcare, can phenomenally
reduce the burden on medical professionals to
coordinating care and detecting issues or diagnosable
health concerns. Bots would be an evolution of health
assistants. For example, Bots like HealthTap or Your.
Md use AI to find solutions to the most common
symptoms. However, chatbots act as enablers in the
process to direct the patients to the right physician for
diagnosis and therapy. They would be supplementary
to the duties of an experience doctor.
Intelligent Robotics
AI can also be used with robotics. Physical robots can
revolutionize life care facilities, by helping people stay
healthy and reduce hospitalization needs. AI, coupled
with the advanced humanoid design, is powering
robots to have conversations and social interactions
with aged patients to keep their minds sharp. Since
robots have greater flexibility and reach, they can be
used for making smaller incisions with more precision
in the affected areas. Certain robots can serve as
a social partner to treat mental health issues or to
alleviate loneliness. Companies such as Blue Frog
Robotics (developer of BUDDY), National Institute
of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology,
or AIST (developer of PARO), among others have
augmented the concept of companion robots to the
healthcare sector.

Recently, Arterys, a Deep Learning medical imaging
technology company, partnered with General Electric
(GE) Healthcare. This partnership combines Arterys’
quantification and medical imaging technology with
GE Healthcare’s Magnetic Resonance (MR) cardiac
solutions. By collaborating these technologies, it is now
possible to conduct cardiac assessments in a fraction
of the time as compared to the conventional cardiac
MR scans.
6.3 AI in “Lifestyle Management and
Monitoring” is changing the way we live
Increase in digitization enables individuals to manage
their own health and comfort. Data generated from
digitization fuels the AI technology of tomorrow.
Today, parents can monitor their infants to check their
health, sleeping patterns and development.
Recently, Fedo, a start-up, found a solution to
encounter individual’s risks for lifestyle diseases.
They have developed a risk stratification algorithm,
using AI, to predict individuals’ readiness for 7 non-
communicable diseases such as Diabetes II and
Cardiovascular disease – Myocardial Infarction.
6.4 AI in “Nutrition” is enhancing the
journey to a healthy and fit lifestyle
Currently, an extensive number of nutrition related
apps are available in stores, with different functions
and accuracies. With the integration of AI, nutrition
apps can give customized recommendations and
suggestions based on a person´s preferences
and habits.
VITL, a start-up based in London, is applying AI to
diagnose patients’ nutritional needs and deficiencies.
Along with the diagnosis, it further provides users
with a bespoke nutrition plan and daily vitamin pack.
To map out the logic and thought process of human
nutrition experts, the start-up uses an AI engine called
LANA (Live and Adaptive Nutritional Advisor) which
employs a broad range of lifestyle and diet data points.
6.1 Healthcare “Data Mining” with AI
can predict diseases
In the era of ubiquitous technology, data becomes
an important fuel to drive innovation. Data mining
is being deployed to find insights and patterns from
large databases. The healthcare industry captures
large volumes of patient records. With appropriate
analysis of this data, using machine learning tools, the
healthcare sector can address a plethora of diseases
prior to their occurrence.
Currently, the healthcare industry employs data mining
to develop early detection systems by using clinical
and diagnosis data. Tech giants, such as Google and
IBM are using AI to unearth patient data which are
structured and unstructured. The data is extracted
by mining the medical records or by deciphering
physician-patient interaction (voice and non-voice-
based interactions).
6.2 AI in “Medical Imaging and
Diagnostics” provides precise
information
Over the past couple of years, AI has expanded
substantially in the fields of medical imaging and
diagnostics, thereby enabling medical researchers and
doctors to deliver flawless clinical practice.
Paving the way for quantification and standardization,
deep learning is aiding in prevention of errors in
diagnostics and improving the test outcome. Further,
AI is improving the assessment in medical imaging
to detect cases such as malignancy and Diabetic
Retinopathy (DR). It is also assisting with quantifying
blood flow and providing visualization.
According to European Radiology Experimental’s
recent poll, over 50% of global healthcare leaders
expect the role of AI in monitoring and diagnosis to
grow significantly.
6.
GROW FOR TOMORROW

6,5 AI in “Emergency Room and
Surgery” is saving lives
The first surgical robot, named as da Vinci Surgery
System, which was approved by the FDA for general
laparoscopic surgery, was developed about 15 years
ago. Since then, many other surgical robots were
introduced, including the current generation of robots
which are integrating AI in surgery.
The next generation of surgical robots are being
powered by machine learning and AI. In the near
future, we will witness AI platforms such as DeepMind,
IBM Watson and other advanced AI tools enabling
physicians and hospitals to deliver promising surgical
interventions.
IBM Watson has advanced medical cognitive and NLP
capabilities to respond to surgeon’s queries. Further,
similar AI platforms aid in monitoring blood in real
time, detect physiological response to pain, and can
provide navigation support in arthroscopy and open
surgery.
6.6 AI in “Hospital Information System
(HIS)” can enrich the delivery of
healthcare services
Currently most of the hospitals and clinics have HIS
software to handle the process of appointment,
treatment follow-up, and other administrative
processes, by integrating with EHRs of patients. There
is great potential for these systems to be used for
offering superior health services.
For instance, Google’s DeepMind Health team is
working with NHS hospitals to monitor a patient’s
conditions via a mobile application. The app allows
the hospitals to promptly identify any deterioration in
the patient’s conditions and thus provide treatment as
quickly and accurately as possible.
Furthermore, AI in healthcare provides support to
clinicians for predictive analytics in real-time and
solves operational challenges across the hospital
functions. It also saves staff time, reduces steps, and
removes paper-based processes through automated
data collection, analysis, reporting and communication.
6.7 AI in “Research” is providing
fascinating insights
AI enables healthcare providers to create a digital
profile of humans. This can help in understanding
immunosequence, thereby generating a new class
of immune diagnostics in oncology. Additionally, it is
being used to accomplish reproducible research in
bioinformatics, genomics and life science. Adaptive
Biotechnologies, a start-up addressing genomic based
therapy, partnered with Microsoft to find out insights
of immnosequence.
6.8 AI in “Mental Health” is building a
strong support system for patients
We live in a world where 1 in 4 people suffer from
mental disorders, making it one of the leading causes
of disability and ill-health.
Healthcare, being relatively slow in adoption of new
technologies, has seen some of the greatest advances
in AI recently including early identification of mental
health symptoms. Certain factors such as a person’s
tone, word choice, and the duration of a phrase are
considered when studying an individual.
Wysa, an AI-based emotionally intelligent penguin,
developed by Touchkin, can listen, chat and help
users build mental resilience. Within 3 months, Wysa
had witnessed a million chats with 50,000 users and
assisted them to overcome mental health troubles.
Some of these users had been suicidal, others lived
with Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social
anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorders. Thus, for
the millions of people who feel lonely and need the
support of friends and psychiatric therapists, AI can
build resilience, offer support, and save lives.
6.9 AI in “Pharma” is enabling the
discovery of a new class of diagnostics
and treatment
AI is revolutionizing the way pharmaceutical companies
develop medicines. AI searches biological systems to
understand how a drug can affect a patient’s tissues/
cells. For instance, applications like precision medicine
and predictive medicine are used to predict a patient’s
treatment rather than investigating a bigger set of
patients.
BERG, a pharmaceutical start-up, has created an AI
platform that uses biological data as cells transform
from healthy to malignant ones. The software utilizes
information from the 2003 Human Genome Project in
addition to over 14 trillion data points in a single cell
tissue. This research allowed BERG to develop a new
cancer drug that could potentially reverse this process.
6.10 AI technology in “Virtual Assistant”
to communicate with patients in an
efficient way
Virtual Assistants/AI assistants are being created to
help and enhance human-like interactions, thereby
saving time and resources. Nuance, a company which
has developed a Medical Virtual Assistant, streamlines
clinical workflows for the 500,000 clinicians who
rely on Dragon Medical every day for their clinical
documentation. It enables individuals who are using
specialized medical terminologies to communicate
naturally with high accuracy.
6.11 AI in “Wearables” is making us
proactive to take healthy decisions
Miniaturization is the upcoming trend in AI applications
and thus, wearables such as smart-watches, clothes,
and shoes will be trending in near future.
Researchers and manufacturers alike are looking
to benefit from this trend by making it available for
everyday use and clinical grade applications. In the
absence of an AI engine, the data from a product
would yield zero value to the user. Hence, AI engines
are being integrated within the product’s health
solutions to capture health insights of an individual.
Thus, on detection of an abnormality through clinical
grade wearable technology, users can approach the
physician or can also opt for an AI doctor.

7.3 Mergers and acquisitions and
the race for AI
The funding for AI startups in healthcare,
particularly by top Venture Capitalists (VCs), has
consistently risen through the years.
Over the past couple of years, numerous startups
have been entering the healthcare sector to
provide AI solutions using their machine learning
and big data analytics capabilities. Big players like
Google, Apple, and GE are keen to tap into the
AI market, thereby acquire top startups to gain a
competitive advantage.
In 2015, IBM created Watson Health, with its
headquarters in Cambridge, MA. Within a span
of a year, it has acquired disruptive startups
providing AI-powered healthcare solutions like
Merge Healthcare, Phytel and Explorys. Google
acquired DeepMind in 2014 to compete with major tech
companies such as IBM (who was an early leader with
its Watson Health business) and to gain a stronghold of
deep learning in healthcare. Another tech giant – Intel,
acquired Nervana Systems, a deep learning startup in

IMPACT OF AI IN HEALTHCARE8.
GROW FOR TOMORROW

8. Impact of AI in Healthcare
To effectively utilize AI in the healthcare industry,
there is a need to build a database with all the historic
data of patients, required to identify the patterns
and accordingly use AI for diagnosis and therapy.
If customized accurately, AI would not only be
‘intelligent’ but also highly user-friendly.
Some of the key reasons and barriers for AI adoption
in the healthcare sector can be seen below.
8.1 Trends in AI Adoption
With the rising number of patients and subsequent
demands for quality and affordable treatment,
healthcare organizations are realizing the benefit of
technology adoption.
The adoption of AI in healthcare is currently at an
early stage. This is largely due to limited digitization
of patient records in many emerging economies.
Certain countries in South Asia and Africa are still
reliant on physical documentation to maintain their
records. However, the adoption of AI is relatively less
challenged in developed nations such as US and UK,
where majority of the healthcare records have already
been digitized, and the technology has flourished.
The above-mentioned barriers in healthcare are
limiting organizations from implementing full-fledged
AI solutions. Though many healthcare providers are
currently adopting it for search, classification and
reasoning, as more and more digitization of patient
records occurs, and advancement in AI technologies
such as NLP, text and image analytics, and others
continues, AI will showcase its full potential. In the
future, enhanced functionalities of AI will revolutionize
the way healthcare organizations operate.
8.2 Impact of AI on jobs
Emergence of AI in healthcare has instigated a fear
among people about losing jobs, eventually slowing
down the adoption of AI among healthcare workers.
Most federal governments and policy makers have a
misconception that with increasing adoption of AI, jobs
would become redundant, thus adversely affecting the
economic goal of job creation.
On the contrary, it is being analyzed that with adoption
of AI, the employment opportunities are going to
increase, and new age skills would be in great demand.
Many jobs like care giving and rehabilitation require
human emotions and utmost care which AI cannot
currently replicate. AI is integrated in healthcare
organizations to assist with care provision, not replace
it. Moreover, as AI continues to evolve in healthcare,
there would be more jobs created for new skill sets.
AI in healthcare would have advantages of increased
efficiency and decreased costs of treatment, leading
to higher volume of care delivered. This would result
in higher profits and employment opportunities. Thus,
it is a misconception that AI would replace healthcare
workers; in reality, it can lead to an increase in demand
of a qualified workforce and improve efficiency in
services like diagnostics, patient engagement and
precision medicine.
In sum, AI could potentially replace certain
administrative jobs such as those associated with
medical record maintenance and patient engagement,
and at the same time, also increase the demand for
specialized professionals.
8.3 Impact of AI on existing business
models in the healthcare industry
AI has impacted various industries and has
transformed the business’ operations. Moreover,
evolving open source models in AI platforms makes
it difficult to harmonize with the earlier Software as
a Service (SaaS) based model. Now, with the rise of
commercialization of AI, the healthcare industry is
also experiencing a paradigm shift in the way of doing
business. Many healthcare providers are integrating AI
into their daily functions to gather insights from the
growing clinical data, thereby, minimising the risk of
the patients’ life.
El Camino Hospital in Silicon Valley was encountering
difficulties in understanding the patients’ level of risk.
This was majorly attributable to the failure in gathering
patients’ information from multiple electronic clinical
databases. To counter this, El Camino Hospital
partnered with Qventus, an expert in providing
healthcare technology. They deployed AI to process
El Camino Hospital’s data. With this implementation,
El Camino Hospital was able to predict the patient’s
level of risk, thus helping caregivers devise appropriate
treatment options. Within 6 months of implementation,
El Camino Hospital witnessed a 40% decline in the
number of patients suffering from life-threatening falls
– owing to the accurate treatment.
With the addition of new parameters
in healthcare information such as
images, audio and video, AI is desired
to have context specific capability for
decision making.
One of the major roadblocks for AI in
healthcare is the low level of consistency
among the records of healthcare
providers resulting in inaccurate analysis
of the captured data.
Barriers for AI adoption in Healthcare
Despite the growth in electronic data,
many healthcare organizations still lack
an integrated platform. This is a challenge
when establishing the building blocks for
AI implementation.
Limited availability of skilled employees
in healthcare who can initiate AI-based
projects, is creating a hindrance for
healthcare organizations.
Increase in digital data and difficulties
in handling large amount of patients’
records is pushing end-users to adopt AI.
Through content analytics using NLP
tools, AI can enable speedy diagnosis of
patient’s conditions, thereby supporting
the provider in administering effective
and efficient treatment protocols.
Reasons for AI adoption in Healthcare
Increase in number of diseases and need
to understand and diagnose better with
the help of deep learning.
With the adoption of AI, many healthcare
organizations have experienced a
reduction in the costs and improvement
in efficiency by treating larger number
of patients.

IBM Watson is adding value to various healthcare
providers. Recently, pharmaceutical company
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) partnered with IBM Watson to
provide better customer connectivity. It enables GSK’s
customers to ask questions by voice and text through
GSK’s online advertisement, thereby, changing the
conventional way of customer interactions.
GSK rolled out Watson’s question and answer
capabilities featuring “Theraflu cold and flu
medication”, which is based on its core AI
functionalities like natural language processing and
machine learning. These questions were asked to
individuals who searched the web for immediate
treatment. Thus, receiving quick and accurate answers
to their queries such as – “How do I treat my cough?”
With this upgraded technology, GSK is experiencing
an increase in customer acquisition and brand loyalty.
Deploying AI provides GSK with a competitive edge
over its peers.
In the near future, we will see more healthcare
companies transform their business models by
implementing AI in their existing businesses,
to gain a competitive edge.
8.4 Future scope of AI in healthcare
Although there are many proven applications of AI in
the healthcare sector, the extent of implementation is
still at a nascent stage. It is expected that increase in
the adoption of AI, would result in a transformational
change in the healthcare industry. The estimated
growth in the future would, thereby, improve the
diagnosis and treatment procedure in healthcare. The
applicability of AI is vast with numerous opportunities
in the healthcare industry.
A few areas where AI will grow in the near future are
highlighted below.
›› Around 415 million people, globally, suffered
from Diabetes in 2017 as per data from National
Health Surveys. Recently, the occurrence of DR in
diabetic patients was estimated to be about 35%.
The major challenge of detecting DR in patients
can be resolved with the help of AI, which enables
the physician to gather images of patients’ retina
and run these images through machines. These
machines can effectively scan the images and
provide a collection of data. The collected data is
organized into a pattern by AI specialists, which can
then be used to discover the dormant signs of DR.
The discovered signs can assist in enhanced early
diagnosis and thus, prevent the occurrence of DR
among diabetic patients.
›› Based on a report published by WHO, there is a an
estimated shortage of about 17.4 million healthcare
workers and an availability of only 4.45 skilled health
professionals per 1000 people globally. This results
in increased demand for healthcare professionals.
AI-based platforms will be able to improve the
entire process of diagnosis by examining historical
medical records and patients’ data. These systems
can collate the test reports of patients and provide
advice on treatment based on previous patient
records with similar symptoms. This platform would
enhance the doctor’s efficiency, deliver better
results and minimize errors.
›› Delivering healthcare facilities in rural and under-
developed areas is still a major challenge for
the health sector. Shortage of good healthcare
amenities, diagnosis centres, doctors and hospitals
in such areas have led to a rise in mortality rates
across the globe. Implementation of AI can
help deliver therapeutic knowledge, predictive
technology and diagnostic facilities, freeing
up manpower and other health resources for
deployment to rural and under-developed areas.
