Machine learning and big data are influencing almost every area of modern life, including entertainment, commerce, and healthcare. Netflix knows which films and series people love to watch, Amazon knows which things people want to buy when and where, and Google knows which symptoms and illnesses they search for. All of this data may be utilized for highly thorough personal profiling, which may be useful for behavioral understanding and marketing but also has the ability to anticipate healthcare trends. There is a lot of hope that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) could result in significant advances in all aspects of healthcare, from diagnosis to therapy. It is widely assumed that AI technologies would support and enhance human labor rather than completely replacing the employment of physicians and other healthcare professionals. AI is ready to assist healthcare workers with a wide range of activities, from administrative workflow to clinical documentation and patient outreach, as well as specialized assistance in image analysis, medical device automation, and patient monitoring. In this chapter, we will look at some of the key applications of AI in healthcare, including those that are directly related to healthcare as well as those that are part of the healthcare value chain, such as drug research and ambient assisted living.
