Overview:
The global artificial intelligent (AI) in healthcare market is primarily driven by the increasing usage of big data in healthcare sector and advantage of AI to improve the imbalance among the healthcare professionals and patients, augment patient outcomes and aid in clinical trial simulation and development process. The continuous research activities in disease diagnosis and monitoring will further increase the demand for incorporation of AI technologies. The continuous growth in population has led to the generation of large healthcare data, which requires AI to enhance data mining and computing abilities.
AI technology would help the medical practitioners efficiently which would cater the increasing patient demand. The rise in shift towards aging population would increase the strain on the healthcare system. AI technology is studied to expand its application in home healthcare support for the aged patients and those with chronic illnesses. For instance, Amazon’s product Alexa is being researched to support patients with long-term health conditions such as diabetes.
Smart wearables play an important role in the healthcare industry. For instance, smart watches such as FitBit and wristbands aid in lifestyle improvement and enhance physical activity are on high demand. The ease of availability of such devices, rise in awareness and increase in adoption of healthy lifestyle has led to the rise in wearables. Consumers believe that wearing such smart devices that monitor their vital signs, daily calorie consumption and exercise patterns lead to an increase in life expectancy.
Data privacy would be the major hurdle that industry players investing in AI need to take care of. AI would replace humans in the forefront is on the major concerns that hamper the growth of AI in the healthcare sector. Medical devices using AI would also face regulatory challenges for approval, which could hamper the growth of this market.
AI in medicine is gaining demand across geographies. North America accounted for maximum market share owing to its high disposable income, rise in healthcare expenditure, the increase in demand for newer technologies and major market players being headquartered in this region. The high cost involved in development and requirement of a suitable healthcare infrastructure are the major causes that could hamper the growth of healthcare AI in low and middle-income economies.
