U.S. healthcare will know it’s gotten AI right when the technology demonstrably improves care access, attentiveness and outcomes for the least financially healthy among us. 

The use of AI technologies in healthcare has evolved at a breathtaking rate in the last few years. Hype and hypotheticals have been replaced with real, practical tools that help physicians focus on providing high-quality care. 

Successfully adopting the technology across wide and varying care settings depends on a whole lot more than just technical sophistication. 

Deployed in screening mammography, the tool identifies normal, low-risk exams and eliminates the need for double reads. 

Advanced AI software developed by Cleerly consistently produced plaque assessments comparable to intravascular ultrasound. 

A new Doximity survey shows 94% of American physicians using AI or at least keen on it. Just as tellingly, the pace of adoption is brisk and accelerating. 

Though the study of AI in lung cancer screening is not new, prior research has been retrospective in nature, making it challenging to determine the impact. 

“If we are not careful, we run the risk of spending more time admiring these novelty-driven tools than advancing the real frontiers of radiology.”
