Algorithmic Medicine

This chapter explores the profound impact of algorithms, AI, machine learning and data analytics on modern healthcare. As the digital transformation of medicine continues to evolve, the integration of algorithms into medical practice is redefining how we interact with patients, how we choose and interpret diagnostics, plan treatment, and deliver patient care. We delve into the key applications, benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations surrounding algorithmic medicine, shedding light on the dynamic intersection of healthcare and potential ‘black box’ technology.
