How AI is Reinventing Healthcare: 5 Disruptions on the Horizon
It’s January 2027. You wake up. Your digital health assistant takes 30 seconds to run a full diagnostic of your body, downloading dozens of sensors capturing gigabytes of data. It tells you that based on the last 48 hours you might be coming down with the flu.
Scenario 2: You need a surgery, and rather than interviewing human doctors, you opt for an autonomous robotic surgeon that’s done your particular surgery over 10,000 times.
Scenario 3: Recently, DeepMind’s AlphaFold 3 completed a detailed AI model of your specific biology (your cells, tissues, and organs). Now every medicine you take is tailored 100% for your exact genomics and lifestyle. No guessing, no side effects.
How close do you think we are to the 3 scenarios envisioned above?
Without question, one of the largest markets being disrupted and reinvented by AI this decade is healthcare. The scale of coming change is breathtaking.
4 key attributes of AI are at play in this disruption:
-
Empathy: Published data repeatedly show us that AI is considered much more empathic than physicians when speaking with patients. They are infinitely patient, willing to help you understand what’s going on and collect reems of data.
-
Data Analytics: Today’s LLMs can take in gigabits of health data, analyze them all in the context of you, and generate diagnoses.
-
Multimodal & Always On: Today’s AIs are available 24×7, anytime, anywhere. They can passively gather multimodal data from the sound of your cough, the pattern of your typing, the pallor of your face… as well as all of the wearables, consumables, insideables, and injectables we will use to feed our AI digital health assistants.
-
Hyper-Personalized: In the near future, AI will learn your preferences, anticipate your needs and behaviors, monitor your health, and help you problem solve in support of your health.
The goal is for AI to empower each of us to become “the CEO of our own health” and to transform medicine so that it is prospective, proactive, and personalized.
In today’s blog, I’ll explore how AI is revolutionizing healthcare in 5 different ways and what this means for the future of healthcare and medicine:
