Technology is changing healthcare in ways we couldn’t imagine a decade ago. AI is helping doctors analyze scans faster, predict patient risks, and even suggest treatment options based on data. At the same time, wearable devices and health apps let patients track their own heart rate, sleep, and activity levels in real time.
But it’s not all simple. How much should we rely on AI? Can it really understand the nuances of human health, or will it always need a doctor’s judgment to make sense of the data?
I’m curious—how do you see AI shaping the future of healthcare? Will it make care smarter and more accessible, or are there risks we need to watch closely?
That’s a really important concern to raise. There’s definitely a risk that AI could be used in harmful ways if profit is put ahead of people, especially when it comes to something as critical as healthcare.
At the same time, I think the technology itself isn’t the problem — it’s how organizations choose to use it. If it’s only used to cut costs and deny care, that would be damaging. But if it’s used to support doctors, catch errors, and make care more accessible (while still keeping human oversight), it could be a positive thing.
It really comes down to having strong ethics, transparency, and rules in place to make sure AI is used to help patients, not harm them.
