HEALTH CARE POLICY AND PRACTICE 3
The report focuses on how new technology and practices under the umbrella of artificial
intelligence can help improve the health and social care. There are advanced digital tools that
forms the foundation of artificial intelligence that when fully adopted can help in the
advancement in the field of science including public health and medicine. Demonstrations
from various health researches has been published as evidence on what these digital tools and
artificial intelligence can help in the management of chronic conditions such as asthma,
diabetes and cancer (Waterson, 2014). A variety of recent studies have tried to show how the
adoption of these digital tools in health care settings can help in delivery of health care
services. A good example of a way of advancement in technology is the artificial
intelligence based tools that are already being utilized in health oriented apps on network
devices like mobile phones.

HEALTH CARE POLICY AND PRACTICE 4
The term Artificial is used together with the computing technologies to help in processes that
are associated with human intelligence like learning and reasoning. Artificial intelligence (AI) is
a widely used tool that enables many people to rethink on how they can analyze data and
integrate the information which leads to improvement in decision making thereby transforming
life.
There is a range of applications features that are contemporary to artificial technologies.
These Artificial Intelligence applications are currently being used in healthcare research and
research purposes including management of chronic disorders, drugs discovery, and detection of
illnesses and delivery of quality health care services. The artificial intelligence can help in the
address of some of the healthcare and social issues that we face today. Artificial Intelligence has
been around for many years, but it has promises that have remained unfulfilled.
This report provides the benefits of new technology and artificial intelligence in health and
social care in my area. Besides, the report offers some recommendation in which the progress in
the adoption of new technology and artificial intelligence can be facilitated. Furthermore, the
report presents conclusions and possible recommendations on the merits of the introduction of
new technology together with artificial intelligence in health care in my area of residence
(Zhivan and Diana, 2012).
It is sometimes hard to predict how technological advances will interact with healthcare
services and policy practices to shape the future of health and social care. In some health care
organizations, the use of modern technology has been partially adopted. With the complete
adoption of digital technology, the four main current trends may have a potential improvement in
health and social care. The potential areas that may improve health care with the adoption of
modern technology may include Genomics and precision medicine, remote care, data
