Abstract

The era of intelligent algorithms has arrived, and machine learning is one of the most promising technologies to revolutionize healthcare. Until recently, manufacturing, transportation, and administration were the primary industries where machine learning algorithms had a significant impact. However, even formerly impervious industries like healthcare are suddenly being affected by these algorithms. While machine learning has been around for quite some time, its use in healthcare is continuously increasing alongside the availability of data. It is a statistical method that allows computers to learn from past data. They are able to identify patterns and come to conclusions or judgments depending on the information that they are presented with. Machine learning (ML) has numerous prospective applications within the healthcare industry. They extend from drug discovery to clinical decision-making and diagnosis. There are petabytes of healthcare-related data that require analysis. For instance, the human genome is an example of this, which is approximately 100 gigabytes per person. Furthermore, carry-and-wear devices generate a large quantity of data, including heart rate, blood pressure, and walking pattern. Therefore, on the basis of these data, ML techniques can be used to predict diseases and develop personalized treatments. ...
