Abstract
Abstract
The present review aims at understanding artificial intelligence (AI) in general with special emphasis on the enhancement and digitalization it brought in the various fields of healthcare. Not only it help in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases but also in the prevention of diseases by aiding in early detection and providing prompt treatment to the patient. It also helps in predicting risk for various diseases thus reducing the morbidity rate. Nowadays, even AI-assisted surgery and robot surgery are being carried out. In fact, in the recent SARS-COVID-19 pandemic, vaccines have been stored under optimal temperature with the use of thermoregulated sensors. Undoubtedly, AI can never completely replace clinicians but it can assist the clinician in providing quality and effective treatment to the patient at every stage from scheduling appointments, documenting it, and maintaining records of the patient’s previous medical history till diagnosis, treatment, and follow-ups. This review covers various applications of AI tools in different health-care sectors from drug and vaccine development to even gene detection. Thus, after review of many articles by the authors, we concluded that AI in healthcare helps in imparting both time and cost-effective, patient-friendly, precise, and quality treatment to the patient. With the emerging advancement and technology in the IT sector, AI is soon going to revolutionized the field of healthcare.
