Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a buzzword across industries, but what exactly is it, and how is it transforming healthcare?
To explain it simply, we asked Curtis Helsel, Forcura’s Data Science Engineer, to break down the basics of AI and how it powers smarter healthcare solutions.
“AI is a subfield of computer science that focuses on building systems capable of performing tasks traditionally done by humans, such as understanding language or making decisions,” says Curtis.
In simpler terms, artificial intelligence helps computers “think” and learn like humans—interpreting language, solving problems, or making decisions. It’s about creating systems that can adapt and improve over time, which is especially powerful in healthcare settings where automation and predictive insights are critical.
How AI and Generative AI Are Powering Healthcare Innovation
