A basic AI computer used today in clinical practices can be used for alerts and reminders, diagnostic, therapy planning, information retrieval, and image interpretation. However, glitches in communication and technical infrastructure are amongst the major barriers to the growth of AI in healthcare. This market has huge growth opportunities due to rising needs of self-care and real-time monitoring, says Research and Markets.
The market has been segmented based on technology, end-users, applications, and regions. The technology market is further segmented into speech recognition, biometrics, natural language processing, machine learning, and disaster recovery.
Based on end-users, the market encapsulates diagnostic centers, hospitals and clinics, R&D, and healthcare institutes. AI finds wide application in precision medicine, real-time monitoring, drug development, and personal health assistants. At present, North America is leading in AI in healthcare market followed by Europe. Asia Pacific has high growth potential accompanied by huge investment in the market, especially in India and China, says Research and Markets.
