UMY Expert: Health AI Technology Must Be Distributed Even to Remote Areas of Indonesia
The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world of healthcare in Indonesia is currently in the spotlight. Experts emphasize that this technology must not only be centered in large hospitals in major cities, but must also be accessible to all people in various regions.
A professor at Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) stated that the development of AI in the medical field must be based on strong scientific evidence. This is important so that the technology used truly provides tangible benefits for patients and medical personnel in diagnosing and treating diseases.
Currently, the use of AI is often still limited to health facilities that have sophisticated infrastructure. In fact, health challenges in Indonesia are very diverse, especially in remote areas that have limited access to specialist doctors and modern medical equipment.
Therefore, the integration of AI is expected to be a solution to bridge the healthcare gap. With the right system, this technology can help health workers in the regions provide faster and more accurate services to the community.
In conclusion, digital transformation in the health sector must be carried out inclusively. The government and related parties are expected to ensure that the benefits of AI innovation can be felt by all Indonesian people, not just a handful of people in large hospitals.
