AI and Life Sciences: How Technology is Assisting the Future of Healthcare

How Artificial Intelligence is changing the field of Life Science

If someone said artificial intelligence a few years ago, one would think they were talking about a Science Fiction film. The truth is, AI is now not only a reality, but it is part of our daily lives. The maps you use for navigation, your phone's facial detection, and even your favourite social media site. AI is everywhere, and you may not even know it. So why does it still astound me that this technology is now moving to medicine? I mean, it makes sense; but this feat of human engineering is still mind-boggling.

According to the latest reports, 459 active high-growth companies are in this sector, collecting over £2.1 billion of investment and raising £95 million worth of grant funding in the last ten years. These companies range anywhere from data management to workflow processes to disease detection.

The emergence of cloud storage, which makes it easier for doctors to access and exchange medical information, has been a significant development in this field of technology. For instance, Coordinate My Care has created software exclusively for the NHS that enables electronic documentation of patient care plans and preferences while also establishing communication between all healthcare providers associated with a patient.

People in the field have also benefited from the use of analytics-based technology, thanks to businesses like Abtrace that use artificial intelligence to streamline procedures. The London-based company recognises trends across electronic health data using analytical technologies, including machine learning, to guide proactive care.

By the way, could you tell those last two paragraphs were written by AI? Neither could I. AI is becoming a lot smarter than you think. What’s great is that we work in this sector every day. We get to hear and be a part of this groundbreaking technology by linking the people who change the world to the organisations that do it.

It’s what we’ve done for the last 30 years and what we plan to do for the next 30 years and beyond until the machines take over, at least!

Change. How to turn your fear into fuel for a rocket move and wake up in a different reality.

28 Aug, 2023

Rephrasing the famous song, “Love is in the air”, let’s talk about change is in the air – and everywhere. We grow. We change. Look at your childhood photos. Watch your kid, your nephew, your niece. The change is there, and it’s incredible. Nature is constantly changing. We wait for summer as the time to enjoy outdoor activities and gardening, for a quick visit to the beach, or simply take time to relax and spend time with family, friends and loved ones. We wait for winter (even if we never see snow falling) to decorate the house for the holidays, pack presents for the people we love and unpack our own. The colour of the leaves changes, the weather shifts, and flowers blossom in their time – the landscape is constantly transforming. The world around us is changing. We travel to other countries and learn new things, cultures and languages. We take on new hobbies. We get new skills. After a couple of minor kitchen accidents (sometimes), we can cook delicious dishes and get compliments from family and friends. We transform our bodies at the gym or simply by creating the habit of walking every day. We meet new people, we sometimes fall in love, we build families, we have kids. And if you step back for a second, you realise you might have met your other half by pure accident. But you took a leap of faith into the unknown. We embrace many types of unknown change, except for the one that can change how we live five days a week – to change jobs. “I am too old/too young to change”, “I’m used to this environment; It’s my comfort zone”, “Well, I don’t get any promotion, and what I do doesn’t change the world, but it’s stable”, “I am afraid to ask for more interesting projects. What if my manager fires me?”. We often don’t want to change because that step requires a vision, courage, external support, and a leap of faith into the unknown. Scary? Yes. But also promising. A step into the unknown? Yes. But it can open a new door. Do your inner values marry what you do? Yes, it is essential. There is nothing terrible about staying in your comfort zone. At some stage of your career, staying put can be an excellent decision. But if you feel that you need a change – talk to Kelly. We don’t mind going the extra mile and support your wish to embrace the change. The one which will give meaning to what you do, feel proud, motivated and fulfilled. Ready for changing? We’ll make sure your talent can truly shine.
