How AI and ML are transforming mobile app development

Technology and mobile devices are revolutionizing the way consumers interact with the world now, and artificial intelligence and machine learning are making massive breakthroughs recently for mobile app development. These developments have a bearing for healthcare organizations, which are seeking ways to use the technology to better engage patients.

Machine learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI)—it gives machines the ability to enhance their decision-making skills and performance without any human interference. It is based on learning from experiences and examples, instead of programming rules, and machines collect and analyze data to come to relevant conclusions.

As ML is based on neural networks that simulate the biological neural networks, they are capable of accumulating experiences and recognizing patterns in a way similar to the human brain. This has enabled AI and ML to have much innovative functionality such as voice recognition, facial detection, preventive analysis, predictive analytics, and spam detection and prevention.

The flexibility provided by AI algorithms offers seamless experiences to users. Thus, customer services can be improved, healthcare organizations can be reimagined, and new products or services can be introduced using AI and Ml. All these functionalities have made users, organizations and developers think of ways to model algorithms and intelligent interactions within mobile applications.

AI became mainstream for most consumers with the introduction of Apple’s Siri. Everyday tasks can be made easier by using technologies like virtual personal assistants (VPAs). For example, emails can be prioritized and important content and interactions can be highlighted using VPAs.

With the Internet of Things, the future likes in having connected “things” work in synchronization with AI platforms. In fact, AI is making its way virtually in different applications, from security tooling to enterprise applications. Mobile AI will enable developers to devise newer ways for collecting, sorting and storing the data gathered by their applications.

As AI technologies become more pervasive, many applications are being written using algorithms that adjust and change based on observed behavior. The algorithms sift through the data that is collected via mobile devices, analyze trends and then provide more personalized and contextual experiences to users.

Users can complete their daily tasks effortlessly using AI-infused “smart apps,” which thus holds promise in better involving and engaging patients in their own care, for example. Other forms of customization could include prioritizing emails and daily tasks to providing voice-controlled digital home assistance for regular household chores.

AI and ML also can predict and analyze trends for consumers in real time, which can help organizations know consumers’ preferences. Additional data and insights about user behavior and engagement preferences can be accessed through ML, and tailored messages for individual customers can be generated even by large organizations. This is accomplished by categorizing consumers into smaller segments or groups based on similar preferences and behaviors. Thus, outreach efforts are enhanced by sending personalized messages to each group. Predictive, innovative and targeted campaigns can also be launched using this technique to gain maximum positive responses.

Thus, AI and ML are contributing to the success of apps by providing them with a competitive edge, engaging more consumers, personalizing communications, and offering optimal customer service. Mobile app development is thereby reaching a new level of sophistication and being empowered with the growth of AI and ML.
