Computational healthcare: present and future perspectives (Review)

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been developed through repeated new discoveries since around 1960. The use of AI is now becoming widespread within society and our daily lives. AI is also being introduced into healthcare, such as medicine and drug development; however, it is currently biased towards specific domains. The present review traces the history of the development of various AI-based applications in healthcare and compares AI-based healthcare with conventional healthcare to show the future prospects for this type of care. Knowledge of the past and present development of AI-based applications would be useful for the future utilization of novel AI approaches in healthcare
