Healthcare in the Cloud: How Technology is Changing Healthcare

Healthcare in the Cloud

The latest developments in data and computing are starting to have a transformational effect on the healthcare industry. This infographic deals specifically with cloud computing and accessing patient records, but it is even more than that.

Wearable technology and apps, for instance, will be interfaced with the cloud to allow users to provide and interpret important data in real-time. Blood sugar, heart rates, temperature, and other important diagnostics can be taken and compared against millions of other patients. People living with chronic disease will be able to much better monitor their health, and people focused on preventative measures will have many new ways to interface with their bodies.

This two-way information exchange also allows patients and doctors to communicate better with one another. Patient diagnostics are being sent in real-time to doctors, but the practitioner could “push” notifications back. For example, recommending less sugar intake.

Doctors and medical practitioners will be able to have access to mountains of new data, with insights produced through big data. This will allow for more accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Hospitals and clinics will be able to save money on managing their data, which will decrease costs significantly and allow them to focus efforts in more important places.

New technologies, including healthcare in the cloud, have big potential for investors as well. Venture Capitalists are now putting billions of dollars into such investments each year now, well up from around $343 million in 2010.

Charted: The Jobs Most Impacted by AI

Large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI tools haven’t been around for very long, but they’re expected to have far-reaching impacts on the way people do their jobs. With this in mind, researchers have already begun studying the potential impacts of this transformative technology.

In this graphic, we’ve visualized the results of a World Economic Forum report, which estimated how different job departments will be exposed to AI disruption.

Data and Methodology

To identify the job departments most impacted by AI, researchers assessed over 19,000 occupational tasks (e.g. reading documents) to determine if they relied on language. If a task was deemed language-based, it was then determined how much human involvement was needed to complete that task.

With this analysis, researchers were then able to estimate how AI would impact different occupational groups.

DepartmentLarge impact (%)Small impact (%)No impact (%)

Finance70219
Customer Sales671617
Operations651817
HR57412
Marketing56413
Legal46504
Supply Chain431839

In our graphic, large impact refers to tasks that will be fully automated or significantly altered by AI technologies. Small impact refers to tasks that have a lesser potential for disruption.

Where AI will make the biggest impact

Jobs in information technology (IT) and finance have the highest share of tasks expected to be largely impacted by AI.

Within IT, tasks that are expected to be automated include software quality assurance and customer support. On the finance side, researchers believe that AI could be significantly useful for bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing.
