advancement. From dental machines to radiology and ultrasound sonographies to laser treatments, AI is advancing the healthcare sector like never before. It was a mere 50 years since it evolved. However, it has become crucial in the healthcare sector within such a short period. phases. This allows doctors and medical experts to diagnose the illness better and provide them with the appropriate treatment. 2) Radiology: Radiology is one of the prime examples where AI provides the upper hand over manual efficiency. For instance, the doctor has limited reference images when a patient is passed through the radiation. But in the case of AI, it carries millions of images in its reference bank. Advanced images and patterns provide a clearer view for the doctor that the human eye may never see. Evolution of AI in Healthcare The period of the 1960s laid the foundation of AI, where research for the first problem-solving program was carried out. This program was called as Dendral. It was specifically designed for applications in organic chemistry. Further, in the 1980s, the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) was established, comprising the healthcare sector. Fuzzy expert systems, artificial neural networks, and hybrid intelligent systems were some of the early examples of new systems in healthcare. 3) Telemedicine: Telemedicine and AI go hand in hand. AI can assist doctors in monitoring patients remotely by using sensors. Some wearable devices provide information about health issues. Further, this information can be compared to previously stored data by means of AI. This comparison will alert the patient or medical expert to the alarming conditions. Carrying this juggernaut further, the rise of the internet triggered the use of AI in the healthcare system. A new concept of machine learning was developed, turning the knowledge-driven approach into a data-driven approach. This shift accelerated the automation process of the medical sector and introduced new horizons. Many tech solutions were invented, and the diagnosis of serious diseases became possible. 4) Drug Selection: Creation of drug is a time-consuming and costly process. However, applying AI can accelerate this process and resultantly save time and cost. By recording the results of past trials, there will not be any need for repetitive testing. Hence, AI speeds up the drug selection process. 5) Automation of Documentation: Documentation of patients is a time-consuming and complex task. Also, there are chances of manual errors due to task repetitiveness. These mechanical tasks can be automated by using artificial intelligence. AI can store huge amounts of data, which can be used anytime for reference. Recent Trends in the Healthcare Sector We have reached the age where the whole world is swiftly adapting to the digital approach. This digital transformation is changing the healthcare sector, too. The advancement is providing accessible and affordable treatments, which were considered impossible a few decades ago. The healthcare sector is transforming rapidly due to the adoption of AI technologies. Today, we are witnessing the decisive role of AI through its recent trends in the medical industry. There were the days when artificial intelligence was considered science fiction and was only limited to Hollywood films. However, the evolution of the internet boosted AI, and now it is touching new heights every day. It is advancing with each passing day, providing a variety of applications. It is changing the dynamics of the healthcare sector. AI is no longer science fiction; it is transforming lives. AI is performing human tasks more sophisticatedly and efficiently. It has the following applications: 1) Diagnosis of diseases: AI plays a cognitive role in the diagnosis of diseases. AI-based software can tell whether a person is suffering from a disease or not. According to a study, AI has 87% accuracy in diagnosis, which is slightly greater than what healthcare professionals can achieve.
