A few thoughts on AI in Healthcare: Unveiling the Future of Medicine and Global Health Equity
With my recent appointment as an advisor at Baxter now public , I'm eager to share insights on why AI's application in healthcare and therapy will be pivotal in the emerging AI-enabled era.
To say Artificial Intelligence has been a buzzword is understatement. Over the last year it's generally been linked to optimizing knowledge work and text/data centric applications. Yet, the real revolution lies ahead, in the area of medicine and healthcare.
These are my options, and only mine.
AI's potential goes beyond automating tasks; it's about uncovering new possibilities and making significant impacts in healthcare. This isn't just about wealthy nations grappling with rising healthcare costs. It's equally crucial for emerging economies where access to healthcare remains a challenge. AI's role in health could redefine how we live, promising a future with more accessible and abundant healthcare.
Google's Isomorphic Labs and Eli Lilly have teamed up in a major AI-driven healthcare initiative. Isomorphic Labs is applying AI to drug discovery, using advanced tools like AlphaFold .
Their deal with Eli Lilly is a big move, involving $45 million upfront and potential for $1.7 billion more based on milestones. This isn't just about investment; it shows strong belief in AI's power to change medicine.

The global impact of AI in healthcare is huge. The market could be worth billions and affect millions of lives. This means more personalized treatments, early disease detection, and new, effective therapies could become usual, changing health and wellness approaches.
These steps mark a new era in healthcare. AI is moving from a supporting role to being key in medical research and patient care. The goal is a world with less health disparity and more access to advanced treatments, regardless of location or wealth.
As we witness AI's growing role in healthcare, it's essential to look forward. The advancements we're seeing today, like those from Eli Lilly's collaborations, are just the beginning. Imagine a future where AI not only cures diseases but also predicts them before they occur, where personalized medicine is not a luxury but a norm.
This vision isn't far-fetched; it's a potential reality within our grasp. As we step into this new era, the question remains: How can we harness AI's full potential to ensure equitable healthcare for everyone, everywhere? The answer to this could shape the future of global health.
What is your vision for the role of AI in healthcare, and how do you see it impacting your life and community in the near future?
