Use Of Artificial Intelligence In Healthcare

Healthcare is rapidly advancing with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). The use of AI in disease detection, medical diagnosis, laboratory investigation, and drug discovery is transforming the overall healthcare system. Similarly, AI is reshaping patient monitoring and overall hospital management.

In recent times, AI has become an important component of modern medicine. It has the potential to advance the overall healthcare system by improving accessibility, quality, efficiency, and affordability. These improvements are particularly significant for developing economies such as Nepal, where inadequate infrastructure, shortages of healthcare professionals, geographical barriers, and limited investment in health continue to exist and challenge healthcare delivery.

Disease diagnosis is one of many fields where AI can play a significant role. Large volumes of medical data that include X-rays, CT scans, MRI images, laboratory values, and electronic health records can be analysed with the help of AI in a short period of time.
