Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: The Changing Landscape

Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: The Changing Landscape takes a systematic approach, discussing the benefits and achievements of AI while also exploring the questions and challenges of AI as it relates to health and medicine. The first section provides historical context, introducing the reader to the fundamentals of AI in health care. The second section addresses the primary applications of AI in healthcare, including chatbots for tele-counseling, telemedicine, and AI assisted prediction tools. The third section focuses on the use of robotics and AI driven precision instruments to carry out complex surgical procedures.

The fourth section highlights emerging AI assisted technologies for the management of diseases and disorders. The fifth section covers emerging applications of AI in medical science and holistic health management, for example ChatGPT and Natural Language Processing algorithms. Finally, the sixth section concludes with chapters dedicated to federal and regulatory issues of adopting AI as it relates to human health, along with the ethical issues and limitations.

• Acquaints readers with the historical background of Artificial Intelligence while also connecting its limitless potential with healthcare
• Presents advanced application of Artificial Intelligence across the multidisciplinary facets of healthcare
• Provides guidelines on ethical issues and safety standards of computer applications in human society

Samudra Prosad Banik, Ph.D., received his PhD degree in Life Sciences from Jadavpur University in 2009 after working in the field of Fungal Biotechnology from the CSIR –Indian Institute of Chemical Biology, Kolkata, India. Dr. Banik is currently working as Assistant Professor at the Department of Microbiology, Maulana Azad College, University of Calcutta at Kolkata, India. After completing his Masters in Biophysics and Molecular Biology at the University of Kolkata in 2003, Dr. Banik was awarded a travel grant to work in a short project of genetically engineered rice with increased photosynthetic efficiency at International Rice Research Institute, Philippines. Thereafter he completed his PhD. at IICB where he identified an alternative pathway of vesicles mediated protein secretion in filamentous fungus, and performed biophysical characterization of the glycosylated fungal enzyme assemblies. Upon joining Maulana Azad College, Dr. Banik continued his research on behavior of glycosylated/glycated proteins in higher eukaryotes. In the process, he eventually shifted his attention towards glycated proteins formed during hyperglycemia and its associated consequences chiefly with regards to neuronal disorders. He has been the recipient of three research projects and has published more than 32 research articles in SCOPUS/Web of Science indexed journals along with 15 book chapters published by CRC Press/Wiley/CRC Press. Dr. Banik has edited one book on Biofuels which is scheduled to come out early next year from CRC Press/Taylor and Francis. He is an active reviewer of significant journals including Heliyon, PLOS One and Journal of American Nutrition Association. He is presently the Joint-Convenor of Research Committee at Maulana Azad College. His current research interests include understanding the mechanism of stabilization of proteins by osmolytes as well as structural changes inflicted in proteins due to glycation.
