The History Of AI In Healthcare

AI in the healthcare sector has been around longer than you might think!

Around the world, artificial intelligence (AI) is a hot-button topic. As AI develops and becomes a part of our lives, people are debating its merits. Even Oprah is talking about it!? AI can feel like a daunting new technology, but did you know that AI has been around in the healthcare sector since the early 1970s??

Here is a brief history of AI Healthcare:

• In 1976, researchers developed “backward chaining,” an AI system that could suggest antibiotic treatments for bacterial pathogens.
• In 1989, Cedars-Sinai cardiologists created CorSage, an AI tool that helps physicians identify patients at risk of a second cardiac event.
• In 1991, the Pathology Expert Interpretive Reporting System generated reports with nearly 95 percent accuracy.?
• In 2008, Toronto Rehab’s Intelligent Design for Adaptation, Participation and Technology developed smart home technology that can help Alzheimer patients regain a sense of independence.?
• In 2022, the FDA authorized the EchoGo Heart Failure tool which can detect heart failure from a single cardiac ultrasound.?

Over the past 50 years, artificial intelligence has evolved into a powerful tool that enhances client care and promotes independent living. At Invisible-Care, we are cautiously excited to see what the next 50 years of AI development will bring!
