Its purpose is to obtain the patient's medical history and discuss potential diagnoses with a physician. To create AMIE, several real-world datasets were employed.

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases

Globally, as the geriatric population is increasing, the vulnerability towards chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and respiratory illnesses is increasing, leading to higher demand for medical diagnostics. Sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, tobacco use, and alcohol abuse are the leading risk factors for the rising chronic diseases in developing as well as developed countries. To combat these diseases, accurate diagnosis and early detection, along with timely intervention play a crucial role. AI in medical diagnostics assists in analyzing large datasets, assisting in image interpretation, and supporting pattern recognition. AI in medical diagnostics improves the efficiency, accuracy, and speed of diagnosing various complex medical conditions and contributes to promoting a person’s overall health outcomes.

According to WHO 2023 report, chronic diseases are responsible for 41 million deaths every year worldwide. Out of which, 77% of deaths are in low-and middle-income countries. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death, accounting for 17.9 million deaths annually, followed by cancer, which accounts for 9.3 million deaths. Moreover, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes account for around 4.1 million deaths and 2 million deaths.

Growing Investments in AI-based Medical Diagnostics

With the growing demand for AI-based healthcare solutions such as AI-based medical diagnostics tools and appliances, both public and private companies are significantly investing in AI-based medical diagnostics, due to rapid analysis and high efficiency in accurate diagnosis of diseases. Publicly traded companies including tech giants, such as Google, Microsoft, and IBM are leveraging their financial strength, technological expertise, and are allocating significant resources like AI-based software and hardware to develop AI-driven diagnostic tools. Also, numerous private organizations and startups, funded by the government and other key market players, are focusing on advancing AI technology for medical diagnostics to improve health outcomes. The trend reflects the growing recognition of AI’s potential to revolutionize diagnostics and improve efficiency in identifying complex medical conditions.

For instance, in August 2023, VitruvianMD, a pioneering medtech startup, raised an impressive USD 1.25 million in a seed extension II funding round. The funding was provided by 27four‘s social impact venture capital fund, The Nebula Fund which marks a significant milestone for VitruvianMD and is expected to help in its expansion. VitruvianMD is a provider of cutting-edge diagnostic solutions by integrating biomedical engineering with advanced artificial intelligence (AI).

Government Initiatives and Key Player Focus Acting as Catalyst

The US FDA regulates artificial intelligence and machine learning-based healthcare products as medical devices and covers them as ‘Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) in the United States. SaMD is software intended to be used for one or more medical purposes that perform purposes without being part of a hardware medical device. Regulatory bodies of all major countries are on their way to formulating regulations for analyzing the risks and benefits of using AI in medical diagnostics. Such government regulations and emphasis on building healthy ecosystems for AI-based diagnostics providers is anticipated to contribute for market expansion.

For instance, in June 2023, the National Health Service (NHS) under the United Kingdom government awarded an AI diagnostic fund of GBP 21 million to integrate AI imaging and decision support tools used for rapid diagnosis of conditions such as cancers, strokes, and heart conditions. These government initiatives are providing a great boost to the global AI in medical diagnostics market.

Dominance of Software Segment

The software segment dominated the global AI in medical diagnostics market in 2023, with a market share of 50.58% and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period, reaching 50.89% of the market in 2031. Artificial intelligence is majorly software-based solution that can process data at a faster pace without error. AI-based software component is added to diagnostic equipment like CT-scan machines, MRI machines, and others to perform high-speed data processing and analysis, due to which the software component holds a major share in the AI in medical diagnostics market. Market players are contributing to the dominance of software segment through strategic solutions.

For instance, in January 2023, Viz.ai announced the launch of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled Viz Vascular Suite which is reported to allow automated detection of vascular conditions, shown through computed tomography (CT), ECG, and other imaging techniques, further facilitating timely collaboration among interdisciplinary teams.

Diagnostic Imaging to Dominate the Market

The diagnostic imaging segment dominated the global AI in medical diagnostics market with nearly half of the market share in 2023, which is expected to increase further by 2031. The segment dominates due to increasing demand for AI-powered and cloud-based solutions, which provide more diagnostic precision when evaluating medical images of a patient. AI algorithms are better designed to analyze image data generated by diagnostic imaging equipment, like MRI and CT scans, thus the role of AI integration is relatively higher in imaging, although AI-based solutions for in-vitro diagnostics are expanding with time. Market players are designing solutions for enhancing diagnostic imaging, further strengthening the dominance of the diagnostic imaging segment in the market.

For instance, in September 2023, Abbott launched Ultreon 1.0, which is a coronary imaging software in India. The software combines optical coherence tomography (OCT) with artificial intelligence (AI), allowing healthcare professionals to observe blood flow and blockages in the cardiovascular system. The software is capable of differentiating calcified and non-calcified blockages, the severity of blockage, and evaluating vessel diameter.
