Royal Philips : 4 ways how AI could help to save your life

So where is all this heading? The answer is the revolution in health data and AI has the capability to create your own unique 'digital twin' - the data equivalent of a caring brother or sister who knows where you've come from, where you may be going, and how you can be helped to get where you want to go. However, keeping that digital twin up-to-the-minute about your health must be totally unobtrusive, not a burden on your daily life. Leveraging new technologies such as the Internet-of-Things (IoT) and 5G communication networks, future solutions will automatically sense your vital body signs, mood and state-of-mind, responding to them in intelligent ways that reflect your personal preferences and needs.

These are just a few of the healthcare challenges we're addressing with AI at Philips. By overcoming the barrier of 'too much data, not enough resources', we're seizing a huge opportunity. AI can help to break down silos, aggregate data, integrate our health journeys and reveal patterns to initiate beneficial action. It can build up a complete picture of our health, our lifestyle, and our emotional state - everything. AI's ability to sift through, remember and learn from the vast amounts of data available will get us closer to achieving Philips' mission to improve the lives of 3 billion people a year by 2030, allowing more of us to enjoy a healthy and enjoyable life.
