medical innovations, artificial intelligence, challenges, and healthcareAbstract
Background The improvement of healthcare services is one of the highest priorities for all societies worldwide. Healthcare services have shown vivid changes in the last decades due to technological advances, from examining patients and diagnosis to recently developed drugs. Although there are significant efforts to improve healthcare, humanity faces many challenges.
Aim: to study the recent medical innovations in the different aspects of healthcare services. The authors also aim to investigate the various modern challenges in medicine.
Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, SpringerLink, and the Cochrane Library were searched in order to find various articles concerning this topic. The next search strategies were used: (medical innovations) AND (artificial intelligence) AND (medical challenges). These strategies were used for searches that ended in April 2022.
Scientific novelty: Doctors used to make their own opinions in varied cases by means of limited tools. However, together with the introduction of modern technologies into the healthcare system over the previous few decades, medical practice has become increasingly dependent on technology. Medical technology is the development of instruments with the overall purpose of increasing patients' quality of life. There is much anticipation for the new tools one can create and for the outcomes they will enable, as diagnostic and treatment equipment constantly improves. Therefore, in this review, the aim is to address the tactics of the new technologies and applications in medicine.
Conclusion: Medical innovations exist in all healthcare aspects, from education and diagnosis to management. Recent technologies have demonstrated a considerable benefit in healthcare services improvement. However, a number of obstacles that both societies and individuals face are illustrated. There is a growing interest in resolving current concerns and challenges and obtaining the greatest benefits from medical breakthroughs.
