Smart healthcare

Intro

  • History: history
  • Patient centric
  • Precision medicine
  • Atrial digital twins

Reasons

  • Current problems:
    • Global Health Disparities
    • Unequal shortage of healthcare workers
    • Increasing rate of burnout in healthcare
    • Mental health
    • Sustainable Development Goal 3
  • What smart healthcare can help
    • Remote doctor consult
    • Reduce un-necessary hospital visits
    • Democratize healthcare access
  • Remote emergency
    • 5G powered emergency channel give doctor real time view
    • Real time access of vital signs like ECG, ultrasound image, and blood pressure
    • Access to medical history
    • Doctors guide paramedics in ambulance
  • Drug discovery
    • Cost saving and agility methods
    • All fancy words including (ML, DL, ANN)
  • Offset a shortage of specialists
    • AI can help in aiding diagnosis
  • Before smart hospitals
    • Data presented is overwhelming
      • hindering the ability of using it effectively
    • People trip and die in hospitals
    • Too much administration work
    • Shortage of qualified staff
    • Spending wasted in managing assets
    • Nurses waste time in searching for medical equipment
  • Benefits of smart hospitals
    • Save money on asset searching
    • Reminder
    • Home-based health monitoring reduces re-admission
    • Eliminate emergency
    • Warning of deterioration

Implementation

  • EMR: Electronic medical records
    • Diagnosis, Image Data, Unstructured text data, Medications, Procedures, Lab tests
    • Data is challenging to use: high dimensionality, sparse, noisy, irregular, biased
  • IoMT: lots of data, lots of money going in
  • Healthcare technology: Better quality of life, with less money required

Research: data driven health accessment

Background

  • Role of AI
    • Detection of aliment
    • Improve decision making
    • Help in treatment
    • Superior experience
  • Tech revolution
    • Automated steps in diagnostic process
    • Can acquire different types of data, representing the physiology of humans
      • Images: MRI, CT
      • Wearable devices
      • Electronic health records
      • Robotics
    • ML learn from data, so that it can make decisions like human brain

Data

Wearables

  • Versatile monitoring

Patient Health Records

  • Personal demographics: age, gender, ethnicity, weight, height, BMI
  • Medical parameters: blood, pressure, fat, blood sugar, plasma
  • Non-medical parameters: physical activity, diet plan
  • Questionnaires filled
  • Text mining can be performed

Structured vs. unstructured

  • Structured: Time, date and code in diagnosis logs, can be stored in RDBMS
  • Semi-structured: medication taken, procedures, allergic reactions
  • Unstructured: Clinical notes, need NLP tools

Use Cases

  • Heart disease detection
  • Computer aided retinal disease diagnosis

Conclusion

  • Future of healthcare technology involves:
    • Self monitoring
    • AI for health management
  • Research is being developed to integrate real-time data with technology
    • Require future clinical trails
  • Explainable artificial intelligence:
    • Need model transparency for clinicians and stakeholders
  • Need collaboration in all fields:
    • Academics
    • Clinicians
    • Industries
    • Stakeholders
