Supreme Court ruling has lately spotlighted the way federal agencies operate and it is supposed to bring some big changes in various sectors including healthcare. The ruling is also being discussed on the way advanced technologies can help fix the gaps in struggling healthcare system.

It is true that the U.S. healthcare system is not in great shape lately. Poor health outcomes, rising chronic diseases and high costs are now common despite collecting massive amounts of data over the years. Efforts like the HITECH Act were supposed to improve care by digitizing medical records, but they have not yet made the difference. Can AI succeed where other efforts have fallen short is now being asked.

However, there is a catch and it is that data privacy is a big worry even with so much sensitive health information in the mix. Nobody wants their personal health records to get into the wrong hands. We might lose the personal connection that makes healthcare feel human if we rely too much on AI. It can’t replace the trust and comfort of talking to a real person.

AI has the potential to save money in the long run. It can cut down on wasted resources, reduce errors and make treatments more efficient. However, the upfront investment in these technologies can be intimidating. It is also worth noting that AI could create jobs for people who understand both healthcare and tech.

The future of healthcare with AI looks promising, but it is not a guaranteed fix. The focus must remain on making care more accessible, equitable as well as personalized.
