Artificial intelligence is changing the game for healthcare in Costa Rica. It’s helping doctors predict illnesses, make better decisions, and use resources more effectively.
One standout example is the Clorito Picado Clinic, where AI tools are being used to keep tabs on patients with diabetes. These tools analyze data to spot potential issues early, helping doctors step in before things get worse. Private companies are also getting involved, rolling out solutions to automate tasks, process huge amounts of medical data, and improve the overall patient experience. For instance, some pharmacies in Costa Rica are now offering free AI-powered vision scans to catch diabetic retinopathy, a serious eye condition, before it causes major damage.
Costa Rica’s healthcare system faces growing pressure from an aging population and rising rates of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease. Treatment costs are climbing, too. AI offers a way to tackle these problems by making care more precise and tailored to individual patients.
