While there is still much to overcome to achieve AI-dependent healthcare, Artificial Intelligence (AI) could prove to be a self-running growth engine for the health sector in the not-so-distant future.
A recent report from Accenture focusing on the potential of 10 AI applications determined the “near-term value” of AI in healthcare and how the impact of rapid technology stacks up against the upfront costs of implementation. Results from the report show that an estimated $150 billion could be saved through the application of AI in the U.S. healthcare economy by 2026.
Below are the top three AI applications with the most significant value potential in healthcare, according to the report’s findings.
- Robot-assisted surgery: Estimated value of $40 billion
- Virtual nursing assistants: Estimated value of $20 billion
- Administrative workflow assistance: Estimated value of $18 billion
