AI in Health and Wellness
AI is also improving the way we take care of our health. It helps doctors, caregivers, and even individuals track and manage well-being more effectively.
Health Tracking
- Smartwatches and Fitness Bands: These use AI to track heart rate, steps, and sleep. Some can even warn you about irregular heartbeats or remind you to move.
- Medication Reminders: AI apps can alert you when it’s time to take medicine or refill prescriptions.
- Virtual Health Assistants: Some chatbots or apps can answer basic health questions or help schedule appointments.
Medical Support
- Early Detection: AI helps doctors spot signs of disease earlier by analyzing scans, X-rays, and medical tests more quickly and accurately.
- Personalized Care: AI can study patterns in a person’s health data to suggest lifestyle changes or predict risks.
- Accessibility Tools: AI speech and vision tools help people with disabilities live more independently, such as by reading text aloud or converting speech into writing.
While AI doesn’t replace doctors or nurses, it can help them provide better care — and help you stay informed and engaged in your own health.
