1.1 Introduction
Artificial intelligence (AI) concepts, techniques, and tools have been utilized in medical
applications for over four decades. The overall goal has been to benefit health care by
assisting health care professionals in improving their effectiveness, productivity, and con-
sistency. Improvements in accuracy and efficiency of AI techniques have steadily increased
AI’s viability as a choice for tackling problems in medicine. The availability of AI software
has played a significant role in the further adoption of AI for medical applications.
AI techniques have been successfully applied to the medical domain, and AI systems
are being integrated into health care. Applications of AI span a wide and diverse range of
fields in medicine. In addition to more traditional medical applications of AI (diagnosis,
therapy, automatic classification, rehabilitation), more recent applications include disease
genes, wearable computing, hospital scheduling, visualization, medical robotics, surgery
simulation, artificial consciousness, and much more.
Medical applications of AI are so prevalent that literature surveys have been conducted
in order to study the use of AI techniques in medical applications. One such study reported
that neural networks were the most commonly used analytical tool (Ramesh et al. 2004).
Another study designated fuzzy logic–neural networks as the most often used AI tech-
nique, stating that there have been intensive interests in AI techniques in genetics, cardiol-
ogy, radiology, and so forth (Yardimci 2007).
There are numerous published works (books, journals, conference proceedings) on med-
ical applications of AI, covering a very wide range, from nutrition (Buisson 2008), to data
mining (Ciosa and Moore 2002), to traditional Chinese medicine (Feng et al. 2006). In addi-
tion to publications that provide a general coverage of different AI techniques for a variety
of medical applications, the more specific publications on medical applications of AI can
be categorized into two classes. The first set focuses on a specific field in AI, as it is applied
to different areas in medicine. The second set concentrates on an explicit area in medicine
and covers the utilization of a number of AI techniques in that area. Examples of books

2 Medical Applications of Artificial Intelligence

in the first set include those with foci on fuzzy logic (Barro and Marin 2010), expert sys-
tems (Fieschi 1990), software agents (Moreno and Nealon 2004), and genetic computation
(Smith and Cagnoni 2011). Examples of books in the second set include medical informat-
ics (Kelemen et al. 2008; Yoshida et al. 2010), medical imaging (Schaefer et al. 2009), medical
diagnosis (Schmitt et al. 2010), and book series on computational intelligence in health care
(Springer 2007–2011).
Many survey papers provide a strong starting point for those interested in AI in medi-
cine. Examples of survey papers in the first set include AI applications in the intensive care
unit (Hanson and Marshall 2001), medical applications of case-based reasoning (Holt et
al. 2006), fuzzy logic in medicine (Torres and Nieto 2006), wearable computing (Lukowicz
2008), evolutionary computation (Pena-Reyes and Sipper 2000), and the use of smart and
adaptive systems in different areas (Abbod et al. 2002), comprising emergency and inten-
sive care, general and surgical medicine, pathology, and medical imaging. Examples of
survey papers in the second set include a survey of medical documents’ summarization
(Afantenos 2005), hospital scheduling (Spyropoulos 2000), bioinformatics (Valentini 2009),
and brain pathology (Hemanth et al. 2009).

1.2 A Bit of History

A number of early research efforts foresaw the immense potential of using computers, and
eventually AI, to assist health care professionals. Medical data collection of physiological
variables and use of digital data were discussed in the work of Ax (1960). Questioning the
type of activities that could be supplanted by computers in assisting clinical psychologists
was described in the work of Holtzman (1960). It was suggested that computers could
assist in the evaluation of the actions during stages of the diagnostic testing process, cal-
culating the alternative diagnostic probabilities (Ledley and Lusted 1960).
Medical applications of AI began in the 1960s. One of the first published works in medi-
cal applications of AI that included “artificial intelligence” in the title is by Hunt (1968),
addressing deductive and inductive problem solving and decision-making capabilities of
AI in the field of psychology. Reports on positive reactions of patients, when interfaced in
conversation with a computer that modeled a physician interviewer, were presented in
the work of Slack and Van Cura (1968). Discussions on the impact of the “intellectual” use
of the computer in health care were included in the work of Schwartz (1970). The issues
raised were social, psychological, organizational, legal, economic, and technical, and it
was argued that addressing the challenges required new interactions among medicine
and information sciences and new attitudes on the part of policy makers (Schwartz 1970).
It is interesting to note that all such matters still hold true today, over 40 years since the
issues were raised. Other examples of the earliest work on medical applications of AI
include automated diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction (Nordyke et al. 1971) and therapy with
interactive advice giving with physicians, including the reasoning for decision making, to
serve as a tutorial and a consultant (Shortliffe et al. 1973).
A selection of symposia papers on artificial intelligence in medicine was published in
1982, referring to the area as “artificial intelligence in medicine” (AIM) (Szolovits 1982). It
stated that the field emerged in the early 1970s in response to increases in demand in qual-
ity of medical services and growth of medical knowledge. It was proposed that AI systems
could assist health care professionals in diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis.
Introduction to Medical Applications of Artificial Intelligence 3

Research highlights for the first decade of AIM were reported in the work of Clancey
and Shortliffe (1984), where AIM is stated to be focused on AI programs for diagnosis
and therapy recommendations. The AIM design features that physicians would consider
important were discussed, including explaining the diagnostic and treatment decisions,
being portable and flexible, improving cost efficiency, and autonomously learning from
medical experts. In addition, a number of AIM challenges were identified by Clancey and
Shortliffe (1984), which still hold true: methods to acquire and process data; knowledge
acquisition and representation; capability to provide explanation; and integrations of AIM
systems into the working environment of health care professionals, including the human–
computer interface.
In the first decade of AI in medicine, the proper evaluation of the techniques was given
consideration; this was needed in order to establish the quality of work in AI in medi-
cine. One such evaluation (Chandrasekaran 1983) identified a number of challenges in
evaluating AI systems: focusing only on the final results, instead of intermediate stages;
comparing results against absolute standards of correctness, instead of work of other
clinicians; not knowing the correct answer as clinicians may disagree; and difficulty in
determining the ability to scale. Such issues are still impacting the evaluation of medical
AI systems.
The adolescence of AI in medicine is discussed in the work of Shortliffe (1993), during the
second decade of AI in medicine. The coming-of-age of AI in medicine is proposed to have
started in 2009, that is, the third decade, offering perspectives from a number of experts in
AIM (Patel et al. 2009). It was argued that the AIM field is robust, although less visible than
AI’s heyday. Progress has been made by researchers, and additional research grant fund-
ing would be beneficial. Goals are identified for a better understanding of the errors and
risk taking, that is, the resiliency of AIM systems (Patel et al. 2009). Challenges identified
included improved data capture and processing, reliable mechanisms for patients’ confi-
dentiality, and better modeling techniques. Some argue that AIM systems for discovery
should not attempt to be autonomous and instead should be semiautonomous support sys-
tems for discovery. The following are identified to be important topics in AIM: knowledge
representation, systems modeling, effective use of information in decision making, data
analysis, and interdisciplinary education programs (Patel et al. 2009).
AIM was strong in its third decade, with numerous research efforts. It even garnered
enough attention to result in online courses, namely, the medical artificial intelligence
course, which was offered in 2005 (MIT OpenCourseWare 2005).
We are now in the fourth decade of AI in medicine. The research is strong and is con-
tinuing. Many books have been written to showcase the results, for instance, the work of
Miller (2011). The advantages offered by AI in medicine are that such systems can offer
accuracy (computers are less likely to make mistakes), cost and efficiency (no fatigue),
and replication (ability to make numerous copies) (Butler 2011). Overall, AI technologies
have not been integrated into medicine, as it was once predicted. Major problems have
been unrealistic expectations and usability (Bond 2010). AI researchers have focused on
building effective and usable software tools that can be used for medical applications.
However, most AI systems in medicine are still semiautonomous, as some form of human
supervision is still required to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. There is interest
from health care professionals to have systems that can assist them, not replace them. AI
systems can monitor patients, make suggestions, and help mine the data. The challenge is
in developing hybrid systems that can effectively and efficiently combine the experience
of medical care professionals with attributes that AI software can provide. The interaction
challenge requires more attention.
4 Medical Applications of Artificial Intelligence

Research on AI in medicine is very strong, albeit focused. Currently, a search on PubMed

(U.S. National Library of Medicine 2013) for the phrase “artificial intelligence” produces
18,328 results, and this will continue to grow.
The Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME)—sponsored by the
European Society for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine—is held biennially in odd years
(Artificial Intelligence in Medicine Society 2013). Papers on theory, techniques, and appli-
cations of AI in medicine are published in the proceedings. The journal Artificial Intelligence
in Medicine publishes nine issues a year on the theory and practice of AI in medicine
(Elsevier 2013).
There are online sources to get information on AI in medicine. An introduction is
provided in OpenClinical (2013). Pros and cons of AI in medicine are discussed in
Healthinformatics (2013). AITopics (AAAI 2013) is an information portal for the science
and applications of AI, developed and maintained by the Association for the Advancement
of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), providing history, overview, and detailed information on
numerous AI subjects, including machine learning, natural languages, speech, robotics,
and so forth.
For those interested in conducting AI experiments, there are now a number of online soft-
ware resources. The Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (Weka) (University of
Waikato 2013) is a popular machine learning software package developed by the Machine
Learning Group at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. Weka can be utilized using
the online interface or can be integrated into Java programs. Weka includes tools for pro-
cessing, classifying, clustering, and visualization of data.
Currently, in 2013, there are two global challenges related to medical applications of AI,
with multi-million-dollar awards (XPrize 2013). The first competition focuses on hardware
and software sensors to capture and interpret body metrics for individuals to improve
their health (Nokia 2013). The second competition is based on diagnostic technologies for
precise and reliable diagnoses for use by consumers in homes, integrating fields of AI,
wireless sensing, and imaging (Qualcomm 2013). These types of global challenges illus-
trate the advances in technology, paving the way for the next phase of medical applica-
tions of AI, incorporating the technologies in everyday devices used by consumers in their
homes, offices, and so forth.
In 2013, Telemedicine has entered a new stage, as U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) clearance is given to Remote Presence Virtual Independent Telemedicine Assistant
(RP-VITA)—a remote presence robot—for providing remote patient critical care for assess-
ments and examinations (InTouch Technologies 2013; iRobot Corporation 2013). The design
has been based on user-friendliness to encourage adoption by health care professionals.
This is an important aspect to be considered by all AI systems for medical applications.
With all that has been done in the past four decades, and all these ongoing activities, we
can look forward to further accomplishments in medical applications of AI in the future
decades.

Prominent machine learning and data mining methods are explained in Chapter 3,
along with their medical applications. The techniques include logistic regression, k-nearest
neighbor, K*, decision trees, random forests, rule learners, neural networks, and evolution-
ary algorithms. The concept of hybrid systems is also introduced where an ensemble of
classifiers or a multi-classifier is built using a number of classifiers. Chapter 4 provides
another review of AI techniques with medical applications, covering fuzzy logic, genetic
algorithm, and neural networks. Chapter 5 examines the information retrieval aspects of
AI, drawing comparisons between medicine and law.
Chapters 6–27 provide in-depth coverage of medical applications of AI. Chapters 6–10
focus on classification problems in medicine. Image processing is the common theme in
Chapters 11–14. Chapter 15–17 emphasize medical decision making. Use of AI in diagnosis
is covered in Chapters 18–19, and assisted living is included in Chapters 20–21. Chapters
22–27 present a variety of medical applications of AI.
In Chapter 6, genetic algorithms are utilized to characterize soft tissue in terms of pre-
dicting the viscoelastic response. The experimental results are shown to be accurate and
time efficient compared with other existing methods. The application of support vector
machines and wavelet transform to classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals
is the subject of Chapter 7. The work considers developing compact feature vectors in order
to make the process more efficient.
The applications of naïve Bayesian classifiers are described in Chapter 8, with emphasis
on two problematic characteristics of data sets, namely, high dimensionality and small
size. The application domain is microarray gene expression for different diseases. Chapter
9 focuses on prediction of chemical toxicity profiles, using random forest and naïve Bayes
methods. The performance of the computational techniques are analyzed and compared.
The theme of classification continues in Chapter 10, where neural networks are used for
cancer prediction. The classifier and dominant gene prediction methodologies are used for
predicting tumors.
Chapter 11 presents the application of data mining for melanoma diagnosis. Algorithms
are evaluated based on their dermatoscopic score, using basic melanoma data sets. AI
applications to optical coherence tomography images are discussed in Chapter 12. The
main layers of the retina are extracted, and 2-D and 3-D surfaces are reconstructed. Support
vector machines and deep belief networks are applied to the analysis of pap smears in
Chapter 13. The machine learning techniques are used to identify discriminative visual
features that can be predictive of cancer and precancer grading. Chapter 14 discusses a
fuzzy clustering approach to MRI segmentation, forming clusters of similar-intensity sets
in images. MRI segmentation is used for detection in clinical diagnosis.
Chapter 15 presents a therapeutic decision-making approach, quantifying risk and
uncertainty for optimal treatment. The methodology is applied to hyperglycemic manage-
ment of critically ill patients. Clinical decision making is surveyed in Chapter 16, describ-
ing the practices and challenges. A narrative of a mock patient is used to contextualize and
categorize the process. Clinical decision making is further explored in Chapter 17, based
on the fuzzy naïve Bayesian approach. Other fuzzy set theoretic approaches are presented.
Chapter 18 emphasizes clinical diagnostics, namely, methodologies in metabolomic
studies. AI methodologies of neural networks, genetic algorithms, and self-organizing
maps are applied to spectrometry-like instruments to aid patient care and disease diagno-
sis and management. The amblyopia (lazy eye) vision disorder is the subject of Chapter 19.
6 Medical Applications of Artificial Intelligence

The AI methodology of learning from examples is used with a variety of discretization

techniques for rule induction.
Ambient assisted living and ambient intelligence are introduced in Chapter 20. Hardware
components such as sensors, control devices, and actuators are discussed, along with stan-
dards and protocols. Use of intelligent light therapy for older adults is covered in Chapter
21, with an emphasis on treatment of people with dementia. The light therapy is based on
the use of sensors and ambient intelligence in nursing to improve quality of life. Chapter
22 presents the concept of context awareness and its medical applications. A variety of
research projects and surveys on the topic of context awareness are discussed, identifying
research trends in health care. A survey of natural language processing in electronic health
record systems is the focus of Chapter 23. Natural language processing tools, resources,
and clinical systems are described.
Chapter 24 focuses on the intelligent personal health record, discussing its benefits and
challenges. The AI techniques of expert systems, search technology, natural languages,
and signal processing are integrated into intelligent personal health records. Application
of AI in minimally invasive surgery and artificial palpation is covered in Chapter 25, illus-
trating the benefits of AI. The utilization of a neural network to enhance a tactile sensory
system in a palpation-based medical assessment system is described.
Chapter 26 introduces the notion of a wearable behavior navigation system, using video
conferencing and augmented reality technologies. First-aid treatment, specifically, making
an arm sling using a bandage, is conducted by participants, following guidance from an
expert. Chapter 27 presents AI applications to drug safety, focusing on surveillance and
analysis of adverse drugs. The field of pharmacovigilance is presented, along with rel-
evant AI applications, including statistical methods and data mining algorithms.
Chapter 28 concludes this book, presenting a list of AI resources. Select journals are
listed that are related to medical applications of AI. A number of related conferences are
also listed. Select tools for conducing AI experiments are introduced, including open-
source software, products sold by companies, and other related resources.

2012, pp. 2111–2128. Significant weight loss is detected,
as you have lost >5% of your weight in the past month. This
is particularly problematic as you also have COPD. COPD
patients often experience weight loss, which is associated
with increased risks of mortality, disability, and
handicap. COPD patients experiencing weight loss may need
nutritional therapy. (Click here to view related food and
nutritional supplements.) Since weight loss in COPD
patients is often accompanied by muscle wasting,
nutritional therapy may only be effective if it is combined
with anabolic stimuli such as exercise.
