How Computer Vision is Changing Medical Applications

Computer Vision is an exciting field within Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can read scans, videos and images, then generate actionable information from them.

Detect diseases at an earlier stage

A new machine vision medical application for this technology is the detection of disease at earlier stages. With more data points, more images and videos being processed, it should make it easier for AI-powered systems to help doctors diagnose what is going on sooner. When diseases are identified at an earlier stage, outcomes improve for patients.

Medical professionals can introduce the right treatments at the right time. None of that is possible without the right technology backing-up the insights and training of medics.

Right now, Computer Vision is playing a role in the fight against Coronavirus. But in the next 5 or more years, it will be playing a key role in a wide range of medical environments.
