Healthcare’s new Frontier: AI-driven early cancer detection for improved well-being
Abstract
The realm of healthcare is undergoing a revolutionary transformation through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) for early cancer detection, ushering in a new era of enhanced well-being. This review paper delves into the paradigm shift brought about by AI, highlighting its potential to identify diseases in their nascent stages, thereby revolutionizing preventive healthcare. Harnessing the computational prowess of AI, this paradigm empowers us to analyze intricate medical data, including internal imagery and health records, facilitating the identification of subtle disease markers imperceptible to the human eye. The key focus lies not only in early detection but also in ensuring diagnostic accuracy. A comprehensive analysis of various studies underscores AI’s superiority in comparison to traditional methods, manifesting in quicker and more precise identification of anomalies. This transformation translates to expedited medical interventions and improved patient outcomes. The crux of this evolution lies in AI’s capacity to redefine healthcare, transforming it into a proactive endeavor that identifies and addresses health concerns while they remain manageable.
