Artificial
Intelligence is here to stay. It is going to change the way the world works and
thinks and medicine field is not going to be an exception to this norm.
Recently, I stumbled upon this book named ‘Artificial Intelligence in
Healthcare’ by Parag Mahajan. I took time to finish reading it, as I take time
to grasp technical stuff. But personally putting, this book took me to a new
venture of tech revolution. Topic by topic, the author, who himself is a MD,
covered what all is happening in the field of AI with reference to AI and other
technologies like Robotic Automation.
I really liked
the fear he managed to portray in the book, as many think that AI will wipe out
the potential career of doctors and other medical staff. There are some
incorrigible myths surrounding the entry of AI in healthcare. But the positive
bet is that it will be able to save millions of lives across the world that
otherwise get lost due to human errors. I do not belong to healthcare field,
but I got the hunch what the author was trying to build up in the book.
By all means,
it sounds like a technical book. However, if you are someone hungry for
knowledge and want to expand your horizons for tech revolution, probably this
is the time to add digital healthcare in your list. Another aspect that formed
firmly in my mind is that digitalization of healthcare is inevitable and it is
better if people accept this smoothly. As you know the author has given
possibly a list of five myths that surround the advent of AI into healthcare.
I also got to
know that big giants like Google, Chinese search engine Baidu, Apple, etc. are
all gearing up for digital healthcare investment and market share. The book is
full of such informative gems that covering all the topics in one review is
like making the table of content, just like in the book. I believe this is the
book that you can refer from time to time – I mean to say doctors, tech
bloggers, health bloggers, AI enthusiast, and most importantly students and
researches.
The book makes
a promise that the scope of digital healthcare across the world is promising
and people looking to have a career in that can go ahead without much
hesitation. And importantly, doctors need not to fear about their job security.
At the maximum, AI will work like an assistant to humans, it may never
supersede them…but still fingers crossed.
The copy of
the book can be bought from Amazon.
