Discovery and innovations in healthcare through knowledge technologies

Overview

Sirma’s perspective on the landscape of healthcare

If technology could save lives, it would be in the healthcare field. This industry has radically changed in recent decades due to technology and huge R&D investments. Technology benefits research, global collaboration, and access to data and knowledge, leading to ground-breaking discoveries.

On the other hand, clinician experience and patient expectations are also changing at a rapid pace alongside technology advancements, pressing the industry to adopt innovations. The ageing population and chronic disease epidemic also require a new approach to reduce costs and improve treatment options with new and novel services.

Healthcare, AI, mobile applications, and empowered patients and medical professionals

Healthcare is among the fastest developing industries owing to the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, mobile applications, telemedicine, and the Internet of Health Things. In addition, the industry has been eagerly adopting knowledge technologies in order to process information and provide decision-making data in a similar way to how humans do.

Furthermore, medical data analytics can offer a lot more possibilities for identifying concerning developments and enabling medical professionals to start looking at possible approaches for early treatment. Machine learning algorithms are also being used in the drug discovery process, bringing faster market entry to new drugs.

AI-based solutions are expected to revolutionize healthcare by improving diagnostic accuracy and speed and enhancing healthcare management. ​​
