Image by rawpixel.com on FreepikArtificial intelligence (AI) has been making headlines in all industries. Its rapid implementation and improvement are at the forefront of everyone’s thoughts, and the healthcare industry is no exception. AI’s ability to quickly analyze patient data has many beneficial applications, including preventative care. Preventative care is one of the most important healthcare sectors, as it literally saves lives by reversing or deterring preventable conditions, symptoms, and diseases, including chronic ones. However, it’s also a tricky science; many factors can reduce a preventative care plan’s effectiveness. For example, patients and providers may not recognize signs and symptoms immediately, patients may forget to take medications, and physician burnout and overworking may lead to a delay in care. AI-driven solutions can reduce the prevalence of these issues and make preventative care much more effective.AI Wearable TechnologyWearable health technology isn’t new, but it’s come a long way since it was first implemented

On paper, it was the ultimate career milestone, and I’d have everything I wished for before even turning 40
