For years, artificial intelligence has been associated with productivity, automation and efficiency. However, one of their most promising applications could be in a much more personal field: helping us live longer and better.
According to the Saïd Business School at Oxford University, artificial intelligence advancements in the healthcare sector have the potential to transform the way we understand human performance, disease prevention, and longevity.
One of the drivers of this vision is Adam Will, a GE HealthCare executive and Oxford Executive MBA graduate, who works on the integration of medical imaging, data analytics and artificial intelligence to optimize the well-being of athletes and patients.
The idea is simple: to use the enormous amount of information generated by high-performance athletes to identify patterns that improve people’s health. The goal is to move from a model focused on treating diseases when they have already appeared to one focused on preventing them before they occur.
“Better people generate better performances. That’s what has driven my career in sport and human performance,” Will said, explaining how health, performance and longevity converge.
Beyond technology, the proposal reflects a paradigm shift. Instead of waiting for health problems to appear, artificial intelligence could help detect them early, personalize treatments, and improve people’s quality of life. If this vision is consolidated, AI will not only transform medicine, but also the way we age.
