The Ultimate Assistant: How AI Can Optimize Treatment for Cardiology Patients.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming all-pervasive, impacting our lives in ways that are sometimes visible, but at other times hidden. Algorithms that learn from data-be it consumer preferences, medical imaging data, or any other dataset-are influencing decisions and choices in every industry, and health care is no exception. When patient outcomes are at stake this raises questions of ethics, accountability, and accuracy. This article looks at how AI is currently being put to work in cardiology, how its range of applications might expand, and how health care professionals and technologists can work together to ensure that it is deployed in a way that is safe, efficient, and beneficial for all patients.
