Computer Vision in Healthcare Market Trends

Drivers

Medical Comprehensiveness and Accuracy

• The use of computer vision in healthcare can significantly reduce the time physicians typically spend analyzing reports and images. It allows for more time with patients and provides relevant and constructive advice. It can also help physicians counsel more patients by increasing doctor-patient communication. Computer vision applied to healthcare helps caregivers deliver efficient and accurate healthcare services through its survival systems.

Importance of Imaging in medicine

• For the past decades, electronic medical imaging has been a trusted adjunct for physicians. It not only creates and analyzes images, but also helps and assists doctors in interpretation. The application is used to read 2D scan images and convert them into interactive 3D images that enable doctors to gain a comprehensive understanding of a patient’s health status.

Restraints

Data Privacy and Security Issues

• Healthcare information is highly sensitive, and computer vision applications require processing large amounts of data from patients. Ensuring the privacy and security of this data is a major challenge. Healthcare is a highly regulated industry and in the United States it can be difficult to comply with laws such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Meeting these standards is an important limitation when electronic vision solutions is a significant restraint.

Integrating Existing Systems

• Integrating computer vision solutions into existing healthcare systems can be challenging. Many healthcare facilities use legacy systems that may not be easily compatible with new technologies, creating implementation problems.
