Dallas health insurance providers are using artificial intelligence tools such as robotic surgery and virtual nursing assistance to provide better treatment for patients.

Dallas, United States – April 27, 2018 /PressCable/ —

Could robots and artificial intelligence be coming to Dallas health insurance? If national trends are any indication, it’s certainly not out of the question.

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications, like surgical tooling, have increasingly been incorporated in healthcare for some time. But now, health insurance providers are looking for more ways to save money and increase efficiencies. A recent study revealed that AI could potentially save up to $150 billion annually for the U.S. healthcare economy within the next ten years.

So, what applications could consumers of health insurance in Dallas see more of in the near future? To start, robot-assisted surgery. These types of surgeries replace larger incisions with more minimally invasive ones by using smaller, automated surgical instruments. More physicians and surgical teams are improving their operation precision and total time-per-procedure through robot assistance. The da-Vinci tool uses robotic limbs that are controlled by doctors from a computer inside the operating room. In fact, AI techniques have shown to result in a 21 percent reduction in a patient’s length of hospital stay post-operation.

In addition to robotic surgery, virtual nursing assistants (VNAs) are the next big trend seen in healthcare. VNAs provide 24/7 access to patients’ to have questions answered, monitor health issues, and automatically manage prescription drug treatments. Similar to robotic surgery, virtual nursing assistants can help reduce hospital visits and improve communication with human health staff. And with the proliferation of social media, patients are becoming more comfortable with the idea of AI nurse assistance. Rick Thornton of Insurance4Dallas, an organization of Dallas health insurance brokers, thinks the trend will continue. “Technology will never replace the advantages of human interaction between physician and patient. But artificial intelligence can be complementary and improve healthcare outcomes for many patients. That’s encouraging”.

Regardless of the industry, technology has continuously pushed to find ways to maximize efficiencies and conveniences for those involved. For Dallas healthcare providers and patients, artificial intelligence looks like the next frontier.
