Many medical treatments have poor effectiveness and entail serious side effects. Also, many healthcare services are facing overwhelming demand. Can Artificial intelligence (AI) help address these problems? Omdia is examining the potential AI has to deliver transformations in healthcare. But what are the current applications of medical AI? Where is it headed in the future?

What are the risks and opportunities? These are some of the questions we are exploring.

Some of our free content is available below. We are also working on cutting edge industry intelligence in this area.

Attitudes to medical AI among health professionals could profoundly affect the pace of its integration. Omdia collaborated with the British Medical Ultrasound Society and Omnia Health on a survey measuring attitudes to medical imaging AI within 95 medical imaging professionals. See summary findings here.

Democracy, it has been said, is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. We may want the final say in politics, but the powerful can still dominate, to the detriment of the vulnerable. Democracy can be a double-edged sword.
