Improving Collaborative Interactions Between Humans and Artificial Intelligence to Achieve Optimal Patient Outcomes in the Healthcare Industry

The introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the healthcare industry holds immense promise for improving patient outcomes. However, the interaction between healthcare professionals and AI systems is critical to fully realize the potential benefits. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications have transformed healthcare. This study is based on a general literature review uncovering the role of Al in healthcare and focuses on the following key aspects: medical imaging and diagnostics, virtual patient care, medical research and drug discovery, patient engagement and compliance, rehabilitation and other administrative applications. The impact of AI is observed in detecting clinical conditions in medical imaging and diagnostic services, controlling the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with early diagnosis, providing virtual patient care using Ai-powered tools, managing electronic health records, augmenting patient engagement and compliance with the treatment plan, reducing the administrative workload of healthcare professionals (HCPs), discovering new drugs and vaccines, spotting medical prescription errors, extensive data storage and analysis, and technology-assisted rehabilitation. Nevertheless, this science pitch meets several technical, ethical, and social challenges, including privacy, safety, the right to decide and try, costs, information and consent, access, and efficacy, while integrating AI into healthcare. The governance of AI applications is crucial for patient safety and accountability and for raising HCPs’ belief in enhancing acceptance and boosting significant health precisely address regulatory, ethical, and trust issues while advancing the acceptance and implementation of AI. Since COVID-19 hit the global health system, the concept of AI has created a revolution in healthcare, and such an uprising could be another step forward to meet future healthcare needs.
