Hello Susan. Thanks for the insightful discussion. From your discussion, I have learned that AI integrates big data when it is used in conjunction with these models and algorithms (Reddy, 2018). Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way healthcare is delivered by helping doctors make faster, more accurate diagnoses (Bini, 2018). Additionally, AI can help identify patients who are at risk for certain diseases and conditions, which allows for proactive treatment. Genomics is the study of genes and their interactions in order to understand how they influence health and disease. Genomic data can be used to personalize treatments for patients based on their specific genetic makeup (Williams et al., 2018). This information can also be used to develop new therapies and drugs. Together, AI and genomics are making it possible for healthcare providers to deliver more individualized care that is tailored to each patient’s unique needs. This leads to improved outcomes and a more cost-effective approach to healthcare. Robotics are being increasingly used in healthcare delivery processes. This is largely because of the many benefits that robotics provides. For example, robots can help to improve accuracy and precision while reducing the risk of human error. Additionally, they can help to speed up the process while ensuring consistent quality. There are a number of different types of robots that are being used in healthcare delivery processes. Some of these include surgical robots, hospital logistics robots, and pharmacy robots. Each type of robot has its own set of benefits that can be extremely helpful for healthcare providers and patients alike. It is important to note that as robotics technology continues to evolve, more and more types of robots will likely be introduced into the healthcare field.
