Central Florida Hospitals Implement AI for Early Illness Detection and Other Tasks
-
Central Florida hospitals like Orlando Health and AdventHealth are using AI for administrative tasks and to detect potential illnesses early.
-
AI is approved for limited, specific uses like flagging signs of stroke, sepsis, and osteoporosis. It's not yet used for diagnosing or directing treatment.
-
There are nearly 700 FDA-approved AI and machine learning medical devices. More applications are expected.
-
Safeguards remain in place, with medical professionals reviewing AI alerts and ultimately responsible for care decisions.
-
Locally, researchers at Orlando Health and UCF are developing AI prototypes for improved cancer detection and clinician training.
