“The advances in medical research and technology are robust. We are seeing exponential growth of new research every day,” said Lisa Haug, assistant vice president of medical management at Safety National. “One example is the utilization of artificial intelligence and robotics to help with nerve stimulation for spinal cord injuries, which recent studies are showing has the potential to help (patients) regain movement. While these advances do not necessarily eliminate the need for 24/7 care, they are promoting more independence for the injured worker.”

The benefits
The benefits of using artificial intelligence in an injured worker’s recovery plan are vast, including:
All these advances will help serve injured workers, though organizations will need to remain cognizant of advances and the associated costs. AI will continue to provide advances that provide deeper insight into the patient’s condition, which could help provide an improved path for care and, in some cases, return injured workers to their jobs more rapidly.
