Transforming Healthcare through Machine Learning: A Revolution in Patient Care

Published: 13 May 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Machine learning (ML) ushered in a new era in healthcare by providing unprecedented opportunities to improve patient health, improve clinical decision making, and improve patient outcomes. This article provides an overview of the far-reaching implications of machine learning in healthcare, highlighting its different applications and the challenges associated with it. In this study, we explore how machine learning (ML) can be used to improve healthcare, including personalised treatment planning, disease prediction, medication development, and medical picture analysis. The ability of ML algorithms to spot subtle patterns, forecast illness outbreaks, and enable early intervention has been proved by studying a large diversity of healthcare data. This study also explores the difficulties and moral dilemmas associated with ML integration into healthcare systems, highlighting the significance of data protection, bias reduction, and legal compliance. We also look at the possible advantages and drawbacks of these technologies in environments with limited resources, highlighting the necessity for flexible and accessible solutions.
