Healthcare artificial intelligence (AI) is in its infancy but has the potential to transform patient The revolution of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has just begun. Here are five promising areas where AI could make a big impact. 1. Speeding New Drug Development
Drug discovery involves identifying a molecular target, designing a drug to affect it, then testing the drug for safety and efficacy. This involves screening large numbers of potential compounds in a lab. Once a drug is chosen, nine in 10 ultimately fail in human clinical trials. The process can take 10-15 years and cost billions .
AI has started to speed drug discovery. In February 2022, Insilico Medicine initiated the first Phase I human trial for an anti-fibrotic drug for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that causes the lungs to stiffen and makes it hard to breathe. The molecule was discovered by AI and targets a new biological mechanism which was also discovered by AI.
The process took 30 months which is considerably faster than traditional drug discovery. While this is promising, to date no AI-discovered drugs have been approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
