What Artificial Intelligence (AI) Really Means for Your Care

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized how Americans work and live. Whether it’s by creating personalized wellness plans in a matter of seconds or giving you recipes and a list of self-care activities, many popular AI tools are helping people prioritize their well-being while also enhancing the abilities of our skilled providers.

Keep reading to learn more about the role of AI in health care and how it can enhance our providers’ ability to provide medical expertise with a compassionate approach.

From Preventive Care to Ongoing Support

Whether you have AI-infused wearable technologies, like smartwatches and rings, or have consistent conversations with ChatGPT about your health, AI is a driving force behind digital wellness solutions and personalized health care plans. With its impressive ability to sift through an ocean of data, AI and wearables can help you establish a baseline for your health by monitoring your vitals.

With the help of AI, these technologies can alert you if something is out of the ordinary. While they may not be able to determine a specific illness, it gives you greater insight and ownership of your health and encourages visits to the doctor — your trusted partner on your health journey. From preventive care to ongoing support, AI is changing the landscape of health care by helping people take charge of their health and encouraging meaningful conversations.

Keeping the Human Connection at the Center of Technology

At UChicago Medicine AdventHealth, many of our physicians are implementing AI into their care. Whether it’s annotating patient conversations or analyzing and documenting medical data with safe and reliable tools, AI is enhancing our physicians' ability to provide whole-person care by completing administrative tasks. It’s creating more time for human connection, sound clinical judgment and patient-centered care.

AI tools are also elevating our ability to provide smarter, more advanced treatments, including greater surgical precision, faster diagnosis times during heart attack care and enhanced diagnostic imaging, giving physicians a better look at the areas of interest in a fraction of the time.

While AI tools will never replace our providers, they complement their skills and enable them to leverage AI to deliver more accurate treatments and better outcomes.

How AI Can Impact Your Family’s Health Journey

Many patients already rely on AI for personalized insights into their health. Whether it’s helping them track their personal health metrics or analyzing health data for suggested lifestyle changes, AI is becoming a health companion for millions. AI can also help families with pre-appointment planning, such as knowing what questions to ask the doctor, and provide customized nutrition and fitness plans to help your family live well.

If used responsibly, AI can guide families toward healthier habits and emotional well-being and provide support for a healthy lifestyle. While you can’t fully rely on AI for accurate clinical guidance, it can help you and your family better understand your health, enabling you to have informed conversations with your health care provider on your journey to wholeness.
