The Medical Scene’s Getting a High-Tech Facelift: AI’s The New Prescription

mate! Have you heard the latest gossip about all the tech shindigs in the medical scene? Fancy this: EY’s just rolled out their 17th “Pulse of the Industry: Medical Technology Report”, and let me tell ya, artificial intelligence (AI) is hogging the limelight, with generative AI causing quite the fuss. And believe me, this isn’t just geek speak for the boffins – it’s proper important stuff for anyone who’s ever popped into a doc’s office.

Now, here’s the skinny. Our healthcare heroes are up to their eyeballs in paperwork. We all get that sinking feeling when admin turns into a time gobbler. But imagine, just imagine if doctors could have a natter with patients while all those notes magic themselves up? Yep, there’s kit out there that smashes together hefty language models with clever clogs AI to make it happen. What’s that spell out for us? More face time with the GP and less staring down a soulless screen.

Hang tight, though, ’cause that’s just the start. This futuristic gear, like 3D generative AI, could knock up tailor-made medical contraptions that fit you like a glove. Get a load of this: a knee brace made to measure, zapped up for you in no time. Pretty snazzy, eh?

And we can’t just skip over the major props to GE Healthcare in the report. They’ve been cosying up with AI forever, cranking out more than 45 fancy AI-enriched gizmos that have already got the thumbs up from the bigwigs at the FDA. And if you’re itching to know what’s around the corner, just give Parminder Bhatia, GE’s head honcho of AI, a bell – he’s on a mission to spice up how medicos tango with technology.

Alright, while we’re all up for a gripping yarn about tech and health, it ain’t all plain sailing. Yep, there are some real head-scratchers and hurdles the report doesn’t gloss over. Fancy a deeper look-see? You can snag your own gratis copy on the web – just tip your hat to EY by signing up.

So there you have it, chums. These are buzzworthy days in the health tech zone! Keep your peepers peeled for what’s next!
