Abstract

The medical-related use of artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the significant advancements taking place in the field of healthcare. This chapter highlights major AI technologies and their uses in variety of medical sector for diagnosis of disease that include machine learning (ML), natural language processing, convolutional neural network, and quantum computing. This chapter aims to explore and elaborate upon the complex role that AI plays in the diagnosis of diseases in a range of healthcare specializations by describing the technologies used, applications of AI, benefits, drawbacks, and potential future developments in the field of healthcare. Key advantages of AI include its remarkable speed, precision, and consistency leading to early disease detection and better patient outcomes. The chapter emphasizes the rise in FDA-approved AI medical devices, demonstrating the growing acceptance of AI’s promise in healthcare. Use of AI in various conditions like Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis, cancer diagnosis, cardiac disease, dermatological diagnosis, and genetics. Despite having remarkable advantage with AI in health sector there are certain limitations and challenges associated with it like data privacy, biases, and the continual need for research and development. The future trends in AI for disease diagnosis are explored. AI is transforming the diagnosis of diseases by providing quick and accurate detection in a range of medical fields. AI has potential to dramatically change medical care by improving patient outcomes and diagnostic accuracy. Considering the possibility of personalized medication and proactive preventive measures, AI has potential to drastically change healthcare sector.
