A Review of Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and Blockchain Technology Applications in Medicine and Global Health

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) programs are applied to methods such as diagnostic procedures, treatment protocol development, patient monitoring, drug development, personalized medicine in healthcare, and outbreak predictions in global health, as in the case of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Machine learning (ML) is a field of AI that allows computers to learn and improve without being explicitly programmed. ML algorithms can also analyze large amounts of data called Big data through electronic health records for disease prevention and diagnosis. Wearable medical devices are used to continuously monitor an individual’s health status and store it in cloud computing. In the context of a newly published study, the potential benefits of sophisticated data analytics and machine learning are discussed in this review. We have conducted a literature search in all the popular databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, MEDLINE/PubMed and Google Scholar search engines. This paper describes the utilization of concepts underlying ML, big data, blockchain technology and their importance in medicine, healthcare, public health surveillance, case estimations in COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemics. The review also goes through the possible consequences and difficulties for medical practitioners and health technologists in designing futuristic models to improve the quality and well-being of human lives.

Transformative Potential of AI in Healthcare: Definitions, Applications, and Navigating the Ethical Landscape and Public Perspectives

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the potential of AI in effectively addressing healthcare challenges. It spurred the adoption and integration of AI technologies into medical practices, showcasing their ability to facilitate rapid response, accurate diagnosis, efficient treatment, and extensive research endeavors [94]. The increased application of AI in healthcare is evident through the noticeable surge in academic publications, as depicted in Figure 1.…”

Pengaruh Teknologi Big Data terhadap Financial Performance dan Competitive Advantage Studi pada Perusahaan Go Public di Indonesia Sektor Perbankan

“…Tidak hanya sampai disitu saja, teknologi big data dapat mempengaruhi financial performance pada sektor perbankan melalui kemampuan yang dimiliki (Flyverbom, 2019;Harerimana, 2018;Hasan, 2022;Huda, 2018;Supriya, 2021;Wang, 2020). Contohnya apabila suatu perusahaan perbankan dapat memberikan service yang baik dalam kegiatan perbankan maka akan membuat nasabah senang dan puas menggunakan jasa dari perusahaan perbankan tersebut.…”

Big Data Contribution in Desktop and Mobile Devices Comparison, Regarding Airlines’ Digital Brand Name Effect

“…As the terminology indicates, Big Data refers to massive amounts of data that are difficult to handle using traditional software or web-based solutions. As technology development encompasses many aspects of human, environmental, and socioeconomic variables, Big Data storage, mining, analysis, and associated research are required to fully grasp the dense tendencies in vast data [9]. Nearly every single research field, whether it is in commerce or university, obtains and assesses large amounts of data for a variety of purposes.…”
