AI Innovations in Healthcare

Driven by population growth and aging, the total number of office visits to primary care physicians is projected to increase from 462 million in 2008 to 565 million in 2025. After incorporating insurance expansion, the United States will require nearly 52,000 additional primary care physicians by 2025. Population growth will be the largest driver, accounting for 33,000 additional physicians, while 10,000 additional physicians will be needed to accommodate population aging. Insurance expansion will require more than 8,000 additional physicians, a 3% increase in the current workforce.

AI is rapidly advancing our ability to extend health care delivery service experiences in so many directions - from making appointments for us to a clinic or hospital visit to monitoring our heart rhythms informing our doctors in real time of any heart attack risks, to doing robotic surgery with more precision that humans. The innovation and growth in healthcare is endless.
