The breakthrough of artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare

Abstract

This article is an overview of artificial intelligence’s historical evolution and current status in the field of medicine and healthcare. The main goal of this study is to underline and understand how artificial intelligence influences one of the most crucial domains in our lives, medicine. Thus, analyzing the current scientific literature and already available artificial intelligence solutions, we explore the development of artificial intelligence throughout history. We describe the variety of technologies and artificial intelligence-powered diagnostics platforms that help healthcare workers during diagnosis. Further, we reflect on the current relationship between the medical field and artificial intelligence. Based on that, specific applications of artificial intelligence in radiology, cardiology, and molecular medicine are discussed, highlighting its impact and potential to advance image analysis, diagnostics, and treatment. Furthermore, we also considered the obstacles and challenges surrounding artificial intelligence in healthcare, such as technological limitations, ethical considerations, and legal issues. Hence, our study achieves its main goal of presenting and exploring the complex role of artificial intelligence in medicine.
