The future harmony of multiple AI models
Healthcare organizations are still navigating their first implementation and use of AI. Healthcare’s immediate benefits from AI are narrow and deep. Each function will have its own AI solution to support clinicians: radiology analysis, skin diagnosis, eye diagnosis, blood analysis, genome analysis, cardio analysis, and more. Any practice will have tens of AI models running in conjunction. Larger institutions like hospitals will probably hundreds. Without proper coordination of the multiple models, benefits will not be realized.

Now is the time to start planning and arranging for multiple model environments. This will require more than just an information technology (IT) department or an enterprise architect. Just like multiple departments and teams are connected and aligned under an organizational culture, multiple AI models in a single environment need harmony. Eventually many, or all, of the different models will converge to offer holistic and personalized care. But that is involved and will need more time. Establishing and maintaining harmony will be a more immediate need.
