The Future of Health and Healthcare in a World of Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) consists a set of computational technologies that designed to sense, learn, reason, and take action. AI has already been integrated in many applications including automating the business processes, gaining insight through data analysis, and engaging with customers and employees. AI enabled machines using deep learning algorithms has been shown to exceed human performance, particularly in visual tasks like playing Atari games, strategic board games like Go and object recognition etc. Furthermore, with the technological advancement in mobile computing, artificial neural networks, robotics, storage of huge data in internet, cloud-based machine learning and information processing algorithms etc. application of AI has been integrated in many sectors including transportation, service robots, health care, education, low-resource communities, public safety and security, employment and workplace, and entertainment etc. In this review, we have highlighted the recent trends and applications of AI in healthcare i.e. mining medical records (EHR), designing treatment plans, robotics mediated surgeries, medical management and supporting hospital operations etc. There are many AI platform has been designed which has also been proved to be instrumental in the development of innovative drugs. There is no doubt that AI will enhance the cooperation between humans and machines in years to come and will play an integral role in the improvement of the health index and quality of life.This work is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License ABEB.MS.ID.000503.

Do People Trust in Robot-Assisted Surgery? Evidence from Europe

“…In a growing number of healthcare systems worldwide, robot-assisted surgery (RAS) is starting to be used. RAS is a minimally invasive technique capable of assisting surgeons with complicated surgical procedures [ 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

Exploring AI-healthcare innovation: natural language processing-based patents analysis for technology-driven roadmapping

“…One example is Intuitive Surgical's Da Vinci robotic system, the most popular robot for use in narrow, inaccessible areas, such as during cardiothoracic and cancer surgery (Bajpai, 2018). The same company's lung-biopsy system, which uses a robotic catheter that can precisely sample peripheral lung tissue to assist lung-cancer diagnosis, has also shown the considerable potential of applying AI robotics to diagnostics (Bajpai, 2018; Kar et al , 2018). The findings of the study can show a direction for patent owners and healthcare equipment manufacturers to advance and develop emerging and promising AI-healthcare technologies.…”

Application of Artificial Intelligence in Automation of Supply Chain Management

“…After "Shakey" a wheeled robot that was built at SRI, the field of mobile robotics gained International attention 1 . However, in the late '90s with the technological progress in designing computing power to store and process large dataset, the internet having the capacity to gather large amounts of data, and statistical techniques that, by design, can derive solutions from these data sets, allowed AI to emerge as one of the powerful technologies of the century (Kar et al, 2018). In the last two decades Technologies like Cognitive Computing, Computer Vision, Context-aware Computing, Natural Language Processing, Predictive Analytics, Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, and Deep Learning, etc.…”

“…In the last two decades Technologies like Cognitive Computing, Computer Vision, Context-aware Computing, Natural Language Processing, Predictive Analytics, Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, and Deep Learning, etc. have enabled computer's "thoughts" by providing a conceptual framework for processing input and making decisions based on that data (Kar et al, 2018).…”

“…With the technological advancement in mobile computing, storage of huge data on the Internet and cloud-based machine learning and information processing algorithms, etc. applications and benefits of AI technologies are growing exponentially (Kar et al, 2018). Machines powered by AI performing many tasks-such as recognizing complex patterns, synthesizing information, drawing conclusions, and forecasting-that not long ago were assumed to require human cognition (Zhang et al,1999, Bughin et al 2017.…”
