The Role of AI in Patient Monitoring Using Smart Medical Devices: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is evolving at a rapid pace with impressive performance in many areas including health care. This study aimed to investigate the opportunities, challenges and barriers in implementing AI in patient monitoring using smart medical devices. This chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state, potential applications, benefits, and challenges associated with the integration of AI into patient care settings. It could serve as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in the transformative impact of AI on patient care. We reviewed studies that report on the opportunities and challenges in improving personalized patient care plans (PPCP) using AI. It is suggested that a holistic approach is required involving strategy, communications, integrations and collaboration between technology developers, healthcare professionals, regulatory bodies and end users including physicians and patients. Developing frameworks that prioritize ethical considerations, patient privacy, and model transparency is crucial for the responsible deployment of AI in healthcare. Balancing these opportunities and challenges requires collaboration between wider stakeholders to create a robust framework that maximizes the benefits of AI in healthcare while addressing the key challenges and barriers such as the explainability of the models, validation, regulation, and privacy integration with the existing clinical workflows.
