What is it about?

Artificial intelligence and machine learning have the power to revolutionize the healthcare industry and unlock a world of amazing potential. But unless all interested parties possess rudimentary knowledge of healthcare and machine learning fundamentals and principles, it is not able to fully utilize the capabilities of these technologies. This present literature survey work analyzes the research which implemented the machine learning algorithms in the detection of pneumonia. Furthermore, it is increasingly obvious that AI systems will not substantially replace human clinicians in patient care but rather support them. Human physicians may eventually gravitate toward duties and work arrangements that make use of particularly human abilities like empathy, persuasion, and big-picture integration. Those healthcare professionals who refuse to collaborate with artificial intelligence may end up being the only ones to lose their professions in the future.

Why is it important?

The notion that AI will support rather than replace human clinicians highlights the complementary role of technology in healthcare. AI systems can handle data-intensive tasks, freeing clinicians to focus on aspects of patient care that require human judgment, empathy, and interaction. The application of ML algorithms in pneumonia detection showcases how AI can enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. This is particularly valuable in diseases that require quick and accurate identification to commence appropriate treatment, thereby improving patient outcomes.

Perspectives

AI and ML are set to transform healthcare delivery by improving diagnostic accuracy, patient care, and treatment outcomes. The utilization of these technologies in detecting diseases like pneumonia exemplifies their potential to enhance traditional medical practices. There's a pressing need for healthcare professionals to acquire a basic understanding of AI and ML principles. This knowledge is crucial for effectively leveraging technology to improve patient care and for fostering a collaborative relationship between technology and healthcare.
