The term "AI-based patient care" is particularly at home in the categories of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, big data and smart data. This is an important trend in the healthcare sector in which intelligent computer systems - known as artificial intelligence (AI) - help to improve patient care.
In simple terms, AI-based patient care means that digital technologies support doctors and nursing staff in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care of patients. For example, artificial intelligence can analyse large volumes of medical data at lightning speed and recognise patterns that a human might miss. This can enable diseases to be recognised earlier, for example, because the AI notices special features in images or patient data that indicate certain diseases.
An illustrative example: Imagine a patient comes to hospital with diffuse symptoms. AI-based patient care helps by comparing all available patient data, laboratory values and current scientific findings. From this, the AI can make suggestions to the attending physician as to which diagnoses are possible or draw attention to rare diseases.
AI-based patient care also plays a role in aftercare, for example through intelligent apps that remind patients to take their medication or send warning signals if health risks are identified. In this way, artificial intelligence ensures that medical care becomes more personalised, faster and often safer. AI-based patient care is therefore a significant step towards modern, innovative healthcare.
