Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has been considered the biggest technology in transforming society. The transformation is highly influenced by the tools and techniques provided by Machine Learning and Deep Learning. One latest discovery is Robotic Surgical Tools like Da Vinci robot which helps surgeons to perform surgeries more accurately and detect distances of particular body parts to perform surgery precisely over them using computer vision assisted by machine learning. The maintenance of health records is a tedious process and ML in association with Big Data has greatly saved the effort, money and time required while processing such records. MIT is working on intelligent smart health record learning method using machine learning techniques to give suggestions regarding diagnosis and medication. Deep mining techniques are used in medical image analysis for the detection of tissue in radiotherapy. Outbreak of several chronic diseases can also be predicted using data gathered through satellite, online information and social media updates. Big Data provides a major part by maintaining the EHR which is in form of complex unstructured data. Another major challenging area is related to the infrastructure of the hospital. Moving toward more advance technologies, the infrastructure need to be updated ...
