The Growth of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Keeping a Balance Between Speed and Personal Care.

Ana is a friendly voice that helps you get ready for your doctor's visit and can answer your questions. She can talk in many languages and is available anytime because she is a computer program, not a human.

Ana was made by a company that wants to use computers to do some of the work that nurses do. Hospitals are using these computer programs to watch over patients and help nurses do their jobs better.

Some nurses are worried that using computers this way is not safe and takes away from the care patients receive. They have protested to have a say in how these computers are used.

One man named Adam Hart had to decide how to treat a sick patient when the computer system told him to do something that might have been wrong. He had to argue with his boss to take care of the patient the right way.

Dr. Sanford from the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences uses a computer assistant to help make phone calls to prepare patients for surgery. This helps the hospital work more smoothly and keeps the staff from having to work late.
