The applications and position of artificial intelligence in health and medicine: a short review

Abstract

In our developing and changing world, as in every field, technological breakthroughs, investments, and software have shown significant improvement in the health and medicine sector. As specialized software has made an enormous leap forward in the health sector, the health system has become more modernized, technological, and functional. With technological development,diagnosis and treatment became more accessible, and more positive results were obtained. Modernized hospitals and health institutions have been established with the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. In these modernizing health institutions, much healthier results are obtained with robotic surgical procedures, and faster recovery is achieved in patients with minimum error margin. In this study, the importance of AI technologies in medicine and health, the innovations, application areas, advantages-disadvantages, and artificial intelligence studies used in the fight against Covid-19 were examined. Among these applications, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence Supported Chatbots, Virtual Nursing Assistants,Natural Language Processing, and Surgical Operation Support Robots are discussed.
