The Growing Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Home Healthcare Services
In recent years, the application of AI in home healthcare has triggered a paradigm shift related to how patients and healthcare caregivers approach and deliver healthcare to patients. AI-based sensors track a patient’s health biometrics 24/7. Any irregularities in readings can immediately trigger alerts to the relevant caregiver or agency. AI-based mobile applications also help in providing preventive care by monitoring and managing medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiac problems, etc., maintaining diet and nutrition records, sending reports, and issuing alerts to concerned caregivers/physicians in case of deviations. AI-based AI voice assistants can also assist in setting up reminders for taking medicines, checking vital signs parameters, booking appointments, etc.
“……The prominence of AI in the home healthcare services market is expected to grow manifolds in the coming years……AI has the potential to manage complex care plans, streamline operations of home care agencies by optimizing the scheduling and routing of caregivers, and help in data-driven decision-making..”-Director, Home Healthcare Service Provider, U.S.A
