Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) with machine learning tools are used to search, store, and analyze medical data to benefit both physicians and the health of patients in various ways. With the advancement in machine learning algorithms and bioinformatics techniques, AI has become an essential part of modern healthcare society. AI algorithms and deep learning applications support clinicians with managing health records, making diagnoses and clinical decisions, prescribing medication, determining mental health, and imaging analysis. Clinicians gain rapid access to information and research relevant to the needs of the patients. As some algorithms compete with and sometimes outperform clinicians, it is necessary to fully integrate this technology into daily medical practices. However, we must recognize the strengths and weaknesses of AI, and obtain the perspectives of experts outside the medical field to enable the inclusion of the ethical, philosophical, sociological, psychological, behavioral, and economical aspects of machine behavior when understanding the evolving interaction of machines with humans, so that it can be used for advantageous purposes. AI technology cannot be considered a replacement for physicians, rather it can act as multiple task-oriented device support to ease the burden on clinicians so that they can provide better care of life to patients at every level.
