Tech-Infused Healthcare 2024: AI, Big Data, and the Future of Medical Innovation
This article is an excerpt from the Boston Engineering 2024 Technology Outlook. For a copy of this article and the complete publication, visit the 2024 Technology Outlook digital download page.
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning have emerged as powerful tools for assisting diagnostics and surgical procedures.
The availability of big data and the demand to reduce healthcare cost will drive growth in both markets during 2024 and beyond. Boston Engineering is following these developments closely and incorporating the new technologies into our most advanced medical product designs.
Accurate diagnosis is a fundamental aspect of global healthcare systems. In the US, approximately 5% of patients receive an incorrect diagnosis, with errors being particularly common for serious medical conditions, and carrying the risk of serious patient harm.
In the Invitro Diagnostics market, the use of AI will grow as research continues to confirm that the technology can perform advanced diagnostics. Not only will AI be able to provide a diagnosis quickly, in many cases it will do so remotely- improving access and decreasing costs.
Embrace the future trends that are shaping a new era of engineering excellence.
The 2024 Technology Outlook from Boston Engineering offers an insightful glimpse into trends and innovations on the horizon. Spanning artificial intelligence, robotics, additive manufacturing, and more, this collection of articles provides key takeaways for those looking to stay ahead of the technology curve.

AI is developing the capability to review patient charts and suggest a test or a medication. By integrating information from many different data sources—such as the latest treatment guidelines or research insights—at the operating table or bedside, AI will aid clinical decisions
and enhance physicians’ judgment.
Radiology is benefiting from AI and machine learning. Evolution in hardware and software applications has led to an escalating number of tasks performed by machines. Diagnostic learning algorithms now perform tasks that were previously limited to humans, thus indicating that these algorithms have a large amount of application potential.
In minimally invasive procedures, AI is expected to enhance surgical decision-making before, during, and after a surgical procedure. AI provides surgeons with a new set of eyes and new perspectives, introducing new methodologies to existing surgical procedures and subsequently standardizing practices. By gathering data analytics from all over the world, AI can compile varying images, recognize microscopic differences, and introduce new trends.
As the engineering landscape continues to evolve, Boston Engineering is committed to proactively integrating cutting-edge technologies and methodologies into the solutions it delivers, ensuring that clients stay at the forefront of industry trends and maintain a competitive edge in 2024 and beyond.
