1. IBM Watson Health: Watson Health uses AI to analyze large amounts of health data, helping healthcare organizations improve patient care and find efficiencies.

2. Google DeepMind Health: DeepMind uses machine learning and systems neuroscience to build powerful general-purpose learning algorithms into neural networks that mimic the human brain.

3. Aidoc: Aidoc uses AI to provide radiologists with advanced visualizations to aid in interpreting medical images.

4. PathAI: PathAI focuses on pathology. It uses AI to assist pathologists in making faster and more accurate diagnoses.

5. Tempus: Tempus uses AI for precision medicine, particularly in the treatment of cancer. It collects and analyzes vast amounts of clinical and molecular data to support physicians in making real-time, data-driven decisions.

6. Zebra Medical Vision: Zebra uses AI to read medical imaging with the aim of automating the diagnostic process. Its algorithms have been trained to identify various medical conditions.

7. Butterfly Network: Butterfly Network’s iQ and Butterfly Cloud use AI to deliver a handheld, pocket-sized ultrasound tool that connects to a smartphone. It’s designed to make medical imaging accessible to more healthcare professionals.

8. BenevolentAI: BenevolentAI uses AI to enhance the process of drug discovery. It aims to lower costs, increase speed, and improve the success rate for discovering new medicinal compounds.

9. BlueDot: This platform uses AI to track, locate, and conceptualize infectious disease spread. It provides real-time surveillance across the globe.

10. Nuance Communications: Known for their development of clinical speech recognition capabilities, they have advanced tools like Dragon Medical One which assists in clinical documentation by converting speech into text and driving efficiencies within electronic health records.

These are my list but if you have any recommendation to send us your suggestions.

Top Five AI Applications that can be used in Healthcare

Among the current AI applications, I found some that were very easy to use and can be easily applied in healthcare. However many may require subscription. These are listed below:

1. ChatGPT – Provides you ready answers to any health related questions, but do be careful of the references it give you for evidence.

2. Synthesia: This platform uses AI converts text-to-video Software. All you need to do is write the script, choose the presenter, and the AI generates a realistic video with the presenter saying the provided script. I first used Vidnami which was a great application, but this got taken over byt BigDaddy. Vidnami suggested relevant images or clips to the text too. You can try Lumen5 too for the same purpose.

3. Dragon Professional: Known for its dictation software, Dragon is used widely in various sectors, including healthcare for clinical documentation. Other products include Google Speech-to-Text.

4. Wix: Do you want build a website for your practice, you can try this AI tool, it is easy to use.

5. Beautiful.ai: Helps with improving the quality of your presentation by providing you with slides templates and improving your complete presentation

I must confess I did use ChatGPT to check these out and rewrite some of the content.
