Healthcare is one of the major success stories of our times. Medical
science has improved rapidly, raising life expectancy around the world.
However, as longevity increases, healthcare systems face growing demands
for their services, rising costs, and a workforce that is struggling to
meet the needs of its patients. Healthcare is one of the most critical
sectors in the broader landscape of big data because of its fundamental
role in a productive, thriving society. Building on automation,
artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize
healthcare and help address some of the challenges set out above. The
application of AI to healthcare data can literally be a matter of life
and death. AI can assist doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers
in their daily work. AI in healthcare can enhance preventive care and
quality of life, produce more accurate diagnoses and treatment plans,
and lead to better patient outcomes overall. This book gives insights
into the latest developments of applications of AI in biomedicine,
including disease diagnostics, pharmaceutical processing, patient care
and monitoring, biomedical information, and biomedical research. It also
presents an outline of the recent breakthroughs in the application of AI
in healthcare, describes a roadmap to building effective, reliable, and
safe AI systems, and discusses the possible future direction of AI
augmented healthcare systems. AI has countless applications in
healthcare. Whether it's being used to discover links between genetic
codes, to power surgical robots or even to maximize hospital efficiency;
AI has been a boon to the healthcare industry.
