KEYNOTE SPEAKER CLAIMS AI COULD ‘SHIFT’ PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASE PRACTICE
At a recent Infectious Diseases in Children Symposium, keynote speaker Matthew Might, PhD, discussed how artificial intelligence could potentially shake up the practice of pediatric infectious diseases.
Might, who is the director of the Hugh Kaul Precision Medicine Institute at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, explained that while physicians will remain in the forefront of patient care, the tasks they perform could undergo a significant transformation.
According to Might, the diagnostic toolbox at the disposal of healthcare professionals could soon include artificial intelligence, which would serve as a valuable tool in identifying rare diseases.
In his address, Might emphasized the importance of clinical intuition and the value it brings to the table, while also highlighting the potential of AI in catching cases of rare diseases that may otherwise be overlooked.
The use of artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the field of pediatric infectious diseases, providing healthcare professionals with an additional and reliable resource in diagnosing rare conditions.
