Artificial intelligence is already being used by some Wisconsin health care providers to help diagnose and treat patients. That’s led industry leaders to work to establish a playbook for using the technology ethically.
Physicians and nurses are using AI to write responses to online patient questions and transcribe patient visits. Health care providers also use the technology to evaluate large datasets, assist radiologists with image analysis and predict which patients face fall risks.
Similarly, Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. Secretary Missy Hughes told WPR in late 2023 that AI is being used by health care providers to help predict the efficacy of treatments, predict the likelihood of a disease returning or to help doctors confirm a diagnosis. She highlighted work being done by the Medical College of Wisconsin using AI to predict and more successfully treat pancreatic cancer and to help treat children with epilepsy.
