Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications have revolutionized healthcare. Based on a comprehensive literature review, this study highlights the role of AI in healthcare by focusing on the following key areas: (i) diagnosis and prognosis, (ii) virtual patient care, (iii) medical and pharmaceutical research. discovery, (iv) patient cooperation and compliance, (v) rehabilitation, and (vi) other management. The impact of AI can be seen in the diagnosis and prognosis of cases, the control of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by early detection, the use of AI-driven tools to provide virtual patient care, the management of electronic medical records, the improvement of patients' ability to participate in and adhere to treatment plans, reducing administrative burdens for healthcare professionals (HCPs), the discovery of new drugs and vaccines, the control of medical prescriptions, comprehensive data collection and analysis, and the recovery of technology. However, this research proposal faces many ethical and social challenges, including privacy, security, decision-making and testing, cost, data and consent, access, and efficiency, while bringing together expertise in healthcare. Governance of AI applications is important for patient safety and accountability, as well as increasing healthcare provider acceptance and trust in supporting essential healthcare services. Good governance is a prerequisite for addressing legal, ethical, and trust issues while ensuring the acceptance and adoption of AI. The concept of AI has transformed healthcare as COVID-19 impacts global health, and this attack could be another step in addressing future healthcare needs.
