The Future of AI in Healthcare
Diagnostic imaging informs nearly 70–80% of clinical decisions in hospital care. Globally, more than 3 billion imaging procedures are performed every year. But imaging is no longer just about capturing pictures — it's about extracting intelligence.
In this episode of The Futurist, Ian Khan goes inside Philips to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming medical imaging, diagnostic radiology, digital pathology, image-guided therapy, and the future of patient care. From stroke triage to cancer diagnosis, from MRI acceleration to ambient AI documentation, this episode unpacks how the age of intelligence is reshaping clinical workflows, reducing physician burnout, and expanding access to care globally.
