Health is a fundamental aspect of life, yet it often receives less attention than it deserves. While many people can easily account for their financial status, the same focus is not always given to their health. This discrepancy underscores the importance of evolving healthcare practices, particularly in the realm of data management.
Role of AI and personalised health records The current healthcare system often relies on Medical Health Records (MHR) to address medical conditions, which are typically controlled by the industry and not always shared. The shift towards Personalised Health Records (PHR), owned and managed by individuals, offers a new approach. This shift could enable AI to support more integrated healthcare, where data is shared across various processes like personal well-being, professional practice management and clinical life cycle management.
AI has the potential to enhance several healthcare processes. In personal well-being, AI could analyse data from medical devices, wearables and sensors to provide insights into an individual’s health. For professional practice management, AI could pair healthcare professionals with individuals based on preferences and needs, allowing for more precise collaboration.
AI could also streamline clinical life cycles, improving diagnostics and treatment efficiency by using comprehensive patient histories. In administrative management, AI can help organise and coordinate medical work, workforce, and workplaces, ensuring smooth.
