Artificial Intelligence for Health: Towards more intelligence or more artificial medicine?

Abstract

If we refer to the latest studies on the use of artificial intelligence in health applications [1], we notice that different algorithms and software have been developed and tested in order to compare the results obtained between a human diagnosis and one given by a machine. As an example we can mention the recent competence in China in the diagnosis of brain tumors in which the Biomind system surpassed 87% of correct diagnoses to a group of surgeons, who achieved 66% (out of 225 cases studied, in 15 ‘against 30 ‘respectively)[2].
