Nursing Leadership

By Cynthia Plonien DNP, RN, CENP, TONL Communications Committee Chair

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing healthcare. AI-powered tools can analyze medical images and detect subtle abnormalities missed by human eyes. AI can personalize and tailor patient treatment plans through the evaluation of multi-source data. Wearable, ingestible, and implantable medical devices can monitor a patient’s health metrics, track conditions, triage and recommend interventions. AI can even perform remote surgery through robotics.
