My people, make we gist about medical wahala wey dey cause plenty deaths for hospitals. You no go believe say e reach 200,000 people wey dey waka go meet their maker every year for U.S.A because of medical errors! Na serious matter o. E gon make you reason well, wetin AI fit do to help matter?
Recently, Miloš Grujić, wey be Head of Department for University Clinical Center Kragujevac, talk say him don do better work with some oga collaborators wey write article wey dey shine spotlight on how to fit identify, prevent and protect people from this medical errors wey dey happen especially for Radiation Oncology. Follow well, no be small work be this o!
Omo! Dem researchers dey use plenty interdisciplinary strategies to tackle this issue wey dey vex everybody. Na for this paper, dem talk wetin involve Forensic Medicine and Clinic of Radiation Oncology wey dey find solution to increase patient safety. Dem thank Marija Živković Radojević wey lead the project, others wey dey work with am, and dem na serious heroes as they collaborate to make sure say this work go fit save more lives.
As dem dey research how AI fit help reduce these errors, dem don see say AI fit assist with proper ventilator handling, plus e fit track patient instruction wey some doctors dey forget. Even something as simple as spotting diagnosis wey dey miss, AI don dey take better role. But true talk as AI dey enter medicine, some people dey fear it go replace human touch. Me I no dey feel that way because we still need human judgment to run show.
You sabi say AI don already dey help for detecting pancreatic tumors before human eye fit catch am? Na wah! E fit even help screen for diabetic retinopathy wey dey occur due to high blood sugar. This one no be small matter; e mean say plenty people fit get correct treatment faster.
But for all this good gist, doctors dey talk say make we no carry AI like say na god o. Medicine wey we dey practice no be just machine work, na human connection dey matter too. If we fit blend AI power with human care, we fit increase accuracy wey go help save lives instead of causing more wahala.
For this year alone, hospitals dey focus on improving things, making sure se dem no fall victim to these medical errors. The wahala wey dey happen for operating rooms, like when nurses dey frantic to help patient, dey show say we still need training. Programs like MaiaZura dey try bring better teamwork among doctors through immersive VR training. Dis one go teach doctors and nurses how to work better and reduce burnout. Seriously, we need more of this kind training as dem don prove say e dey reduce errors too.
Now to wrap this gist, make we all carry our health matters dey serious. Doctors dey face plenty challenges, but with the right tech, teamwork, and fresh approaches, we fit dey hope for better outcomes. Make we continue to support these innovations, and pray say dem go bring positive changes to our health systems. For Nigeria, make dem no carry our hospitals come disgrace!
