Artificial intelligence (AI) models in healthcare have the potential to improve the precision and speed of personalized medicine for patients, in some cases helping to identify the best treatment or preventive care. Clinicians are already implementing these models in areas such as early detection of sepsis and analyzing radiology images for diagnosis of prostate cancer and other conditions. It’s a growing area of interest that laboratory medicine professionals should pay attention to, as data generated by laboratory testing is a major component incorporated into AI tools to generate clinical decisions.
