Autonomous labs are not far away, says Microsoft Research chief during Medlab Middle East

Autonomous labs are not far away, says Microsoft Research chief during Medlab Middle East

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: According to Microsoft Research’s Chief Medical Scientist, Dr Junaid Bajwa, we are living in a moment where technology, data and consumer demand is reshaping the healthcare market and redefining how value is defined and captured. This convergence of technology and medicine today, in delivering increasing levels of automation and soon increasing levels of artificial intelligence (AI), will lead to an autonomous future for healthcare.

 

During his talk at the Laboratory Management Conference at Medlab Middle East, Dr Bajwa examined the role of AI in the laboratory. He said that more and more data in the medical care space, such as increasing data around genetics, about the environments, public health parameters and social circumstances that we live in, and data from wearable devices, is becoming more freely available.

 

“Combining all of these data assets together is a computational challenge but leveraging that for the purposes of health is the next frontier of healthcare,” he explained.

 

With the World Health Organisation predicting a 14 million shortfall in healthcare workers by 2030, he asked the audience to consider the role that technology can play in fulfilling that gap. “Healthcare is exorbitantly expensive with 5% of the population taking anywhere between 25-60% of those resources from the most vulnerable in society. We need to move to a healthcare system that is not just about diagnosis and treatment, but about recognising and prevention, and ultimately towards the personalisation and personal healthcare,” he said.
