Abstract

Objective: The modern era of cognitive intelligence in clinical space has led to the rise of 'Medical Cognitive Virtual Agents' (MCVAs) which are labeled as intelligent virtual assistants interacting with users in a context-sensitive and ambient manner. They aim to augment users' cognitive capabilities thereby helping both patients and medical experts in providing personalized healthcare like remote health tracking, emergency healthcare and robotic diagnosis of critical illness, among others. The objective of this study is to explore the technical aspects of MCVA and their relevance in modern healthcare.

Methods: In this study, a comprehensive and interpretable analysis of MCVAs are presented and their impacts are discussed. A novel system framework prototype based on artificial intelligence for MCVA is presented. Architectural workflow of potential applications of functionalities of MCVAs are detailed. A novel MCVA relevance survey analysis was undertaken during March-April 2023 at Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India to understand the current position of MCVA in society.

Results: Outcome of the survey delivered constructive results. Majority of people associated with healthcare showed their inclination towards MCVA. The curiosity for MCVA in Urban zone was more than in rural areas. Also, elderly citizens preferred using MCVA more as compared to youths. Medical decision support emerged as the most preferred application of MCVA.

Conclusion: The article established and validated the relevance of MCVA in modern healthcare. The study showed that MCVA is likely to grow in future and can prove to be an effective assistance to medical experts in coming days.

通过医疗认知虚拟代理加强医疗保健。
目的:现代认知智能在临床领域的应用导致了 "医疗认知虚拟代理"(MCVAs)的兴起。它们旨在增强用户的认知能力,从而帮助病人和医学专家提供个性化医疗保健服务,如远程健康跟踪、紧急医疗保健和危重病机器人诊断等。本研究旨在探索 MCVA 的技术方面及其在现代医疗保健中的相关性:本研究对 MCVA 进行了全面、可解释的分析,并讨论了其影响。介绍了基于人工智能的 MCVA 新型系统框架原型。详细介绍了MCVA潜在功能应用的架构工作流程。2023 年 3 月至 4 月期间,在印度奥迪沙邦布巴内斯瓦尔开展了一项新颖的 MCVA 相关性调查分析,以了解 MCVA 目前在社会中的地位:调查结果:调查结果具有建设性。与医疗保健相关的大多数人都对 MCVA 表现出了倾向性。城市地区对 MCVA 的好奇心高于农村地区。此外,与年轻人相比,老年人更喜欢使用 MCVA。医疗决策支持是 MCVA 最受欢迎的应用:文章确定并验证了 MCVA 在现代医疗保健中的相关性。研究表明,MCVA 在未来很可能会发展壮大,并能在未来的日子里为医学专家提供有效的帮助。
