Abstract
Artificial intelligence's (AI) learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and perception features have given a new horizon to the modern healthcare infrastructure. AI is demonstrating best practices in different domains of healthcare, such as efficient drug discovery processes, accuracy in disease diagnosis, assisted surgeries, efficient utilization of human resources, and many more. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of AI in healthcare, its applications, and recent research studies with respect to disease prediction and information-processing healthcare applications. Associated technologies of AI healthcare applications have been discussed as the realization of concepts is not possible without considering these technologies. Furthermore, it is essential to present the ethical aspect of AI in healthcare, and discuss the ethical boundaries the ethical boundaries of the applications. AI is becoming inevitable for modern and future healthcare; however, certain challenges are associated with the realization of smart and intelligent healthcare infrastructure.
