Mobile health uses technology like smartphones and AI to improve healthcare access, efficiency, and patient empowerment. AI can help with smart diagnostics, clinical decision making, disease prevention and management, and administering real-time treatment. For example, AI may be able to detect early signs of Alzheimer's from data and spot health issues for patients by monitoring their symptoms, activities, moods and diet. However, using AI in healthcare faces challenges regarding responsibility for mistakes, lack of large clinical datasets, need for common sense and lack of regulations. With proper development and oversight, mobile health and AI could help address gaps in accessing quality healthcare.

• Patients to be in control of their health
The surge in computing power + connectivity has fueled its
growth

4. • Access clinical information
• Collaborate with care teams
• Communicate with patients
• Offer real-time monitoring of patients
• Provide healthcare remotely
Mobile Health is being used to:

5. What is the role of AI in mHealth?

6. AI can enable:
• Smart Diagnostics
• Clinical Decision-making Support
• Disease Prevention & Management
• Make Relevant Clinical Information Available in Real-time
• Administer Treatment

7. Example 1: Alzheimer's Diagnosis
• 10M new cases of dementia diagnosed every year = 1 every 3 seconds
• Current Alzheimer’s diagnosis expensive, invasive & not timely
• Bill Gates’s $30M Diagnostics Accelerator for Alzheimer's.

9. AI can spot signs of Alzheimer’s
Before your family does!

10. Example 2: Your Personal
Physician
• Check symptoms
• Chronic care management
• Track activity & moods
• Track food & fitness

15. AI in Health: Not Without Big Challenges
• Who’s responsible for mistakes?
• Dearth of large clinical data sets + ethics of data sharing
• Common sense reasoning critical in medical settings
• Lack of regulations & framework
Not as easy as creating tools & launching them!

16. Tech+AI can play a massive role in
bridging the healthcare gap
