Deep Learning and its Application for Healthcare Delivery in Low and Middle Income Countries

Abstract: As anyone who has witnessed firsthand knows, healthcare delivery in low-resource settings is fundamentally different from more affluent settings. Artificial Intelligence, including Machine Learning and more specifically Deep Learning, has made amazing advances over the past decade. Significant resources are now dedicated to problems in the field of medicine, but with the potential to further the digital divide by neglecting underserved areas and their specific context. In the general case, Deep Learning remain… Show more

“…For example, countries in the Global South, which often face a dearth of medical professionals, could immensely benefit from AI-supported diagnostics, such as deep-learning algorithms for segmenting and classifying chest X-rays. 41 , 42 Yet, the usefulness of these tools is contingent on their accuracy and representativeness. 43 If the training data for medical AI tools is predominantly sourced from the Global North, there is a risk that algorithms are performing poorer in recognizing certain conditions inherent to other patient demographics.…”

“…The three terms "artificial intelligence,""machine learning," and "deep learning" can occasionally be used interchangeably, which frequently causes misunderstanding among nontechnologists [40]. The phrase "artificial intelligence" refers to a vast, established, and highly developed area of computer science study that addresses issues relating to machine intelligence, such as simulating cognitive functions, detecting the environment, and acting independently.…”

“…Machine learning and deep learning have played an important role in the field of medical image processing where machine learning algorithms have been used to classify Covid-19 affected individuals (Bhattacharya et al, 2021) and classifying the severity of Covid-19 diagnosed patient using neuro fuzzy techniques (Ayoub et al, 2021;Iwendi et al, 2021). Another study on how deep learning is being used for healthcare delivery in low and middle income countries has been done where the authors have explained how pneumonia detection using state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms can be utilized to help those countries with limited facilities and resources (Williams et al, 2021).…”
