In this interview, Ousman Bajinka, a senior lecturer at University of The Gambia, discusses the role of artificial intelligence in making better use of data, particularly in the field of digital health.
He explains that while data is widely available, human capacity to process it accurately has its limits. AI can help analyze large amounts of information, he continues, and extract what is meaningful and apply it to address real-world challenges.
Drawing on the use of electronic systems in healthcare, Bajinka highlights how AI can analyze patient information to identify areas that need improvement and practices that should be reconsidered.
He uses drug prescription as an example to explain that AI can help determine which medications should be continued and which should be discontinued. His perspective illustrates how AI-driven data analysis can support more informed decisions in healthcare.
