A brilliant engineer within the YouRise community named Brice (pictured left), asked me recently where I thought AI would make the greatest impact in medicine; my answer = medical research.
It will sift through huge amounts of genetic, medical, and real-world health data — like a “Google for biology” — to suggest new treatments and predict how safe or effective they’ll be before any lab work begins. Doctors and scientists will be able to create “digital twins” of patients to test different therapies in a virtual body, the way a mechanic runs diagnostics on a car model before touching the engine. AI will also run clinical trials that adjust in real time — for example, automatically changing drug dosages mid-study if early results show it works better — saving both time and money.
I created the timeline below to map out what this will likely look like.
