Modernizing Ireland's Healthcare System with Ai?
Ireland's healthcare system is investing billions of euros to revamp its service, and artificial intelligence (AI) may play a crucial role in modernizing it. The country aims to create a free-at-the-point-of-care healthcare system, but improving diagnostics, like MRI and CT scans, will be essential. Prof Peter McMahon, a consultant radiologist at Dublin's Mater hospital, has introduced AI across the hospital's radiology department to analyze medical images and assist doctors.
