Its accelerating insurance decisions, its allowing doctors to focus more on patients. “Now with Gen AI, it could be game changing, it can look at all these documents and can expedite the whole-decision-making process,” says Bharat Kumar at Cognizant. 

“Gen AI can fundamentally transform many of the big, entrenched challenges in the healthcare industry and enhance patient care. But to harness this tech, enterprises really need to modernize their digital fabric and make sure their data is clean.” (Patricia Birch – Cognizant) According to Aashima Gupta from Google Cloud, “Gen AI can bring efficiency in healthcare operations. For example, in paperwork. 

When we talk about physician burnout, or nurses burnout is caused by writing and reading documentation, which in healthcare is an important part of the workflow.” According to her, the potential of Gen AI to speed up the discovery of new drugs is probably one of the most exciting use cases. It is an area in which a lot of experimentation is happening. 

“It today takes anywhere from 13 to 17 years to bring a new drug to market. Players in the life science are exploring the use of large language models to mine large troves of research data for possible connections between molecules, proteins, genes, conditions and automating that task from a research perspective.”
