Neurological Disability: A Hidden Epidemic

Be ‘4th Industrial Revolution Ready’ with SkillUp Online

Neurology & Artificial Intelligence
  • In next 10 years deployment of Artificial Intelligence will change the way we deal with neurological ailments.
  • Neurosurgeons and neurologists need to be future ready, to be able to use AI in their practice.
  • Future role of neurologist specialists is not to extract information from images and histology but to manage information extracted by AI.
Why Artificial Intelligence cannot be ignored
  • 80% of 41 Zettabytes (410 trillion GB) of digital information available is unstructured. AI will be able to detect patterns and trends. That human grey matter is unable to decipher.
  • Being a highly regulated industry, medical data is not easily accessible. System compliance is very easy with AI.
  • AI will enable brain surgeons to focus on the patient rather than getting lost in voluminous data.
Challenges
  • Global burden of Neurological disorders is much higher in developing country like India where spectrum of diseases differs.
  • Lack of specialists adds to the burden as the patients are forced to see general practitioners who have limited or no knowledge.
  • It is estimated that for the current population of 1.36 billion there are over 30 million people who suffer from a neurological disorder.
  • India is going through a rapid phase of epidemiological transition with increase in Non-Communicable Disorders. Neurological disorders form a significant proportion of this.
  • By 2025, 177 million Indian citizens aging above 60 years there will be a sharp rise in age-related disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Dementia and other Cerebrovascular disorders.
  • With 1800 neurosurgeons (including 25 women) for 1.36 billion people it is an uphill task.

Prediction

To predict the outcome of an epilepsy surgery, based on supervised classification and data mining considering clinical, pathological and neurological evaluations.

Role of Artificial Intelligence

With machine learning approach AI today predicts up to 90% accurate result. Automatic Seizure detection using scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) and advance AI techniques is now possible.

When you upskill your current neurosurgeons, neurologists to work with Artificial Intelligence Tools, they have a better chance of adopting to newer AI technologies in the healthcare sector.

Advantages of an upskilled Workforce

Your organization may be considering adopting an emerging AI technology / tool for specific diseases. An upskilled AI team will be easily able to:

  • Learn and adopt the technology faster.
  • Implement & leverage the AI technology in mainstream in a shorter time.
  • Reduced cost of On the Job learning.
  • Will be able to assess and differentiate amongst different technologies available in the healthcare sector.
  • Effectively work with AI as a team to achieve: Faster Detection & Accurate Diagnosis.
