Amazon Uses AI For Healthcare

AI has been playing an increasing role in healthcare, trying to make it easier for healthcare providers to save time and see more patients, but it isn’t easy learning how to use AI, so to make it easier for healthcare providers, Amazon has recently announced a new AI healthcare service called Amazon Web Service (AWS) HealthScribe.

This service is HIPPA approved, allowing healthcare providers to build their own clinical applications that save time. It saves time for healthcare providers by creating transcripts, generating notes, and analyzing patient and clinician conversions. Even though there are benefits, there are also cons. AWS isn’t always accurate due to audio quality, background noise, and AI sometimes malfunctioning. Also, people have their doubts about AI in healthcare.

“It wouldn’t be very trusting, it could malfunction, it could be input wrong,” junior Cloei Evans said.

Despite the pros and cons, AWS has a steadily growing 34 percent success rate and has been useful for healthcare providers. Looking at how successful AI has been in healthcare, don’t be alarmed to see it being used at your next appointment.
