Machine Vision & HealthTogether with LLMs (large language models) like ChatGPT, machine vision is one of the most important recent developments in AI. The various methods used to achieve it, such as neural networks and deep learning, are now allowing computers to truly see their environment.One application of this idea is letting computers take over humans' tasks like driving or giving robots full autonomy in the real world instead of staying confined to factory floors.It is one one of the large drivers of machine vision adoption, a quickly growing market expected to reach $9.2B by 2029.But another equally important task is judging our health. Many medical diagnoses rely on doctors' visual assessments. This includes direct examination and expert-level analysis of radiography, scanners, and other medical images.In most cases, these visual inspections are somewhat subjective. A doctor will need many years of experience to become truly confident in his assessment. And until now, the complexity of each patient’s body being slightly different made it too complex for automatized measurement.This is finally changing, and many companies are now exploring deploying AI machine vision to create superior analyses of medical images.Direct Visual ExaminationWe recently explored the case of using AI to detect better than human doctor ear infections in our article “AI Poised to Become Invaluable Medical Diagnosis Tool”This can be expanded to many other pathologies; for example, Google's AI imaging can be used to diagnose 26 different skin diseases (80% of cases seen in primary care), detect diabetic retinopathy , or even predict the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy in the future .More surprisingly, AI also appears to be able to detect health issues from visual inspections that humans could not use; for example, detecting anemia (normally requiring a blood test) from a look at the eye’s retina
