AI continues to revolutionize industries worldwide, and healthcare is no exception. It’s no surprise that, healthcare providers and insurers are realizing that AI can improve their services, boost health member engagement, and, crucially, save costs.
AI motion capture can support functional movement analysis and help healthcare providers devise personalized health, fitness, and rehab plans.
It can even enhance digital communication and administrative support. Put simply, AI is ready and waiting to transform the health industry.
Read on to learn more about AI's impact on the health industry and how it can be used to add value for patients and providers.
Combining AI with wearable tech can be incredibly helpful in a healthcare setting.
When a patient is recovering from injury or illness, AI heart rate monitors, blood pressure, blood oxygen, and other sensors can be used remotely to monitor their progress.
This removes the need to see the patient for a face-to-face appointment every time.
When the patient is wearing the tech, the AI algorithm quickly detects any issues with their results. If there is a problem, it alerts both the patient and their healthcare provider so that appropriate action can be taken.
The same tech can be used to monitor and evaluate treatment plans and track progress, using a patient’s personal data to inform insights.
Insurers and healthcare providers can use AI to boost member engagement and customer retention.
Incentivizing people to adopt healthy habits and commit to regular daily exercise makes sense for healthcare businesses.
It means that members can enjoy reduced insurance premiums, and insurers can make informed, risk-based coverage decisions and reduce the frequency of costly payouts.
For example, customers who choose Vitality health and life insurance plans in the UK receive a free or discounted Apple Watch. This device is used to incentivize and monitor customers' daily exercise and activity. This is a great perk for customers which also helps reduce the insurers’ risk.
AI can be used for posture analysis and to improve member engagement, but in a healthcare setting it also allows healthcare providers to facilitate virtual consultations and treatments, helping to prevent re-injury during rehab.
One of the perks of using this technology is that a patient doesn’t always have to be there in person for an appointment. Why? Because AI motion capture can use the camera on their cell phone to carry out a highly accurate, detailed functional movement analysis. The patient can do this at a time that suits them, and an AI tool like Sency can provide real-time analysis and insight to the user.
By converting the video into an accurate dataset, Sency’s AI Motion Capture software analyzes it against millions of human tracking data points to correct form and function and provide insights and corrections. What’s more, by including the patient’s data, progress against set goals can be measured and tracked.
Let’s face it: the admin side of healthcare can be a challenge. There are often gaps in processes and communication issues. AI can help fill these gaps and streamline lots of administrative tasks. It can also boost efficiency and enhance customer communication. Healthcare providers can use AI for things like automatic appointment scheduling and maintaining and updating records.
In a study carried out at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo during the COVID-19 pandemic, waiting and treatment times decreased with the use of automation, saving a total of 2508 hours in 12 months.
It’s clear that AI is impacting health care in several ways, and we’re only just beginning to see what it may be capable of. There are so many exciting developments that are changing what’s possible. From providing crucial movement analysis and personalized treatment plans to helping to improve operational efficiency, we’re seeing a myriad of benefits.
AI motion capture is being embraced by many healthcare providers who want to deliver an exceptional service. Not sure what AI motion tracking is and how it can work in healthcare? Get in touch today and have a chat with us to find out more.
