Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Artificial intelligence comprises computer and information technologies that simulate human and biological intelligence or natural phenomena in solving problems. Artificial intelligence technologies are extensively applied in the medical field, such as in disease diagnosis, classification and prediction, health monitoring, clinical decision support, medical data analysis, hospital scheduling, and 3D printing. Such applications have considerably enhanced the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of medical and health care services. This Section intends to provide technical details of the development of artificial intelligence methods and the corresponding applications to medical and health care fields.
