Over the past few years, artificial intelligence has been on the rise in many fields of work. I chose to read about how artificial intelligence is integrated with Philips, a health care organization that helps better medical facilities. This artificial intelligence deemed most interesting to me because I personally believe this is will only better doctors care for their patients the best they can. In the medical world, there are hundreds of thousands of files of data. The artificial intelligence can help aid doctors and clinicians to help improve the organization of the copious amounts of data. The data that the AI is organizing can help better future patients in their care. It can help go through and create ways to help the doctors develop and create better means of care for the patients. This can then lead to benefiting the patients by crafting solutions to certain illnesses and by providing information, from the data files, on exactly what tests patients should receive. As it searches through the data and figures out what tests are required, it will help the patients save money by avoiding taking numerous amounts of pricey tests when instead they can just take the exact ones needed. I believe that this form of AI is better for the communities because it can help the wellness of patients. With this implemented in areas of medicine, we can improve the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of medical care. Another aspect of AI that Philips has created is an early warning score called Guardian which is usually a wearable (a lot of times a bracelet) item that can sense heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate and many other factors of cardiac patients to help predict a future heart attack. I think it is a great addition that Philips produced a bracelet that can help patients in and out of the hospital. The benefits of Guardian are to help predict heart attacks hours in advance and help the nurses tend to their patients when need be. Nurses always have a mass number of patients at once, so by having electronic aid to tell them when a patient will soon desperately need their direct care it can prevent the surprise and will shave off reaction time and can change the outcome of many heart attacks. The AI that Philips is creating will better hospitals and patients by making care more efficient and accurate.

I found your blog interesting because it showed how companies like Philips are pushing the boundaries by implementing AI to help with the speed and efficiency of medical care. However, the only concern of putting too much reliance on AI is that it has the potential for error. In the early stages of implementing new AI technology, it is very possible that there will be glitches. However, because medical technology is dealing with people's lives, the stakes of these mistakes are very high. Therefore, I think companies in the medical field should only be able to continue implementing AI if they have an extremely low rate of error. As long as companies are careful about the technology they are implementing, I believe it will continue to improve the medical field in the future.
