We've talked a lot about how AI is already improving cancer detection and treatment, but there's also huge potential for AI to be used in cardiac care.
Would you surrender your mind to artificial intelligence? Many people are open to the idea.
Three in five Americans believe artificial intelligence will lead to better heart care, according to a new Cleveland Clinic survey.
“One of our concerns has always been the level of public trust in the use of AI, so we found that the majority of people see value in using AI for health purposes. “It was very interesting,” said cardiologist Dr. Ashish Suraj. cleveland clinic. “An example is that AI can be used to assist with data processing for specific studies such as echocardiograms, CT scans, and MRIs, freeing up some of the more basic data processing tasks.”
72% believe health advice from an AI chatbot is accurate, and 89% would still seek advice from a doctor before acting on it.
The survey also looked into wearable technology.
50% of Americans use at least one type of technology to monitor their health, whether it's tracking steps, monitoring pulse, or tracking calories.
Nearly 80% said this data led to positive changes in their mental or physical health, such as exercising more regularly or improving their diet.
Make the most of that data and share it with your doctor, Surraju said.
“It can be difficult to know what data is important and what shouldn't be relevant,” Suraj says. “In that case, I think it would be helpful to talk to a medical professional.”
The study also found that health monitoring technology helps people sleep.
34% of users say they have started paying more attention to getting enough sleep, which is essential to their overall health.
