Artificial intelligence and machine learning have long had a place in medical practice, from the clinical decision support systems of the mid twentieth century, to rule-based approaches in the 1970s, to image classification tasks such as identifying cancerous skin lesions in dermatology patients. Predictive modeling can help hospitals avoid readmission and help clinical teams determine when a patient can be successfully "stepped down" from the ICU. The greater availability of computing power and large datasets means the use of AI in medicine and the health sciences is swiftly expanding.

Looking broadly for recent research in medicine and AI? This PubMed search will show you articles about AI published in the last year.
Searching for literature in academic databases works best if you keep your search simple and use keywords, not phrases. Databases don't understand natural language or context; they can only look for the words you entered.
Here are some keywords that you might use to search for articles on this topic.
| artificial intelligence | healthcare | medical specialties |
|
artificial intelligence AI machine learning deep learning predictive models |
healthcare health system medicine nursing public health physical therapy occupational therapy
|
primary care surgery dermatology critical care emergency department |
Choose one keyword from each column and use the word AND to link them together. This will find articles that use each keyword. You do not have to use every column. Be sure to put quotation marks around phrases.
Examples:
"artificial intelligence" AND healthcare
"machine learning" AND dermatology
"predictive models" AND "critical care"
You can copy these searches or build your own with the keywords listed above, or your own list of keywords, and paste them into PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and other databases.
