Uses of generative AI in the Life Sciences: Part II

In a previous article, we mentioned four benefits and provided use cases for generative artificial intelligence in the life sciences industry. (Make sure you read that here!). However, in this article, we explore other areas where generative artificial intelligence could deliver significant value.

As a refresher, generative artificial intelligence is a subclass of artificial intelligence (AI) that can create novel outputs, like text, images, and videos, among others. The outcome is produced based on the training data that were provided to the generative AI models. Then, the model uses the information it learned from the training datasets to create a unique output.   

Let’s dive deeper into the other potential uses of generative AI.

1-  Support healthcare professionals in their decision-making process

This area adds to the previously-mentioned “Personalized Medicine”. Genetic sequencing is an approach that allows determining the complete DNA sequence of organisms. Generative AI can analyze individuals’ DNA sequencing results, which helps identify disorders like cancer, heart disease, and other conditions to which people could be vulnerable because of their genetic makeup.

In other words, with the use of generative AI’s strong analytical capacity, critical health insights could be extracted. Healthcare professionals leverage this information to unearth markers of diseases that could not be previously or easily identified. In turn, it allows healthcare professionals to make informed decisions about preventive approaches to minimize the impact of these genes on the overall health of people to the extent of delaying or even preventing the appearance of the diseases linked to these genes.

2-  Protect patient privacy

Maintaining strong privacy practices is one of the most important policies in healthcare. Another issue is the lack of sufficient healthcare datasets to train models. However, a limited number of relevant datasets and strong privacy policies could simply restrict access to valuable information, which, when analyzed and utilized, could produce never-before-seen insights about diagnoses, treatments, and more. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a proper balance between datasets of suitable size, privacy, as well as information access. This is an area where generative AI proves to be of significant value.

One of the perks of generative AI models is their capacity to generate synthetic information based on a limited amount of data used to train them. So, why is this important here? Well, when data scarcity and privacy hinder the progress that could save people’s lives, generative AI could be utilized to overcome these challenges. It can generate new data that realistically simulate the training datasets while still being unique. Moreover, it upholds privacy and anonymity since the generated information does not pertain to actual patients. This way, unique insights could be extracted without compromising patient privacy.

3-  Streamline administrative work

In its current form, the healthcare system drowns physicians in administrative tasks that consume significant time and effort. Generative AI provides great potential in this area, as it could help physicians automate processes like filing insurance claims and payer correspondence. This can even be further tailored to a specific organization’s needs by training the generative AI models on patient datasets that are specific to that hospital or medical center. This way, documents, such as insurance submissions, are filed easily, taking the stress away from physicians and allowing them to focus more on their patients.

In addition to the above, generative AI offers value in optimizing and streamlining other processes. Examples of the latter include providing information related to pre-surgery instructions, creating a discharge plan for patients, supporting automatic patient referrals based on insight from their doctor’s notes and documents, and much more.
