Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a very important and critical role in achieving sustainability which is a current major global problem. We aim to use AI as a tool for more efficient use of practices and processes. Our goal is to keep natural resources and reduce the energy consumption associated with human activities. All countries are seeking for implementation of AI technologies and applications that accelerate the achievement of sustainable development (SD) goals. One of the most important sectors in which AI implementation can achieve a paradigm shift in services and practices is the health care sector. The repeated pandemics that the world faced in the last decades including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus Infection (SARS- CoV-1), Influenza A H1N1 2009, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), CoV Infection and Ebola Virus Pandemic represented a great motive to develop immediate and effective solutions. One of these promising solutions is AI integration in health sector. Infact despite representing a revolution, AI needs to be carefully and correctly applied and also needs to be clearly understood to can achieve benefits from its technologies. AI implementation can help us save several elements including cost, time and even personnel. In the same time to be applied, AI faces a lot of challenges that should be handled in a right way to make it effective and efficient in achieving SD goals. Many challenges have arisen in healthcare systems in the last years appeared clear after corona pandemic including cost, patient access, availability of resources, increased need for individualized patient care, medical staff shortage and the over worked staff. Through implementation of new AI powered technologies these challenges can be overcome. AI applications in this sector can enhance decision making leading to much more precise diagnosis and management of diseases and also prediction and prevention of acute episodes of illness. In addition, AI can be used to improve the medical imaging and can have a hand in hospital management, infrastructure and operations. Overall the integration of AI in health care system can revolutionize the way the medical care is delivered to patients and enable SD goals Our review is presenting a new era where implementation of AI in health sector can transform health care through enhancing patient monitoring and improving health service quality and patient safety. Besides, it will help in facing shortage in health care workers and overworked staff which is a great challenge and one of the most important indictors of SD goals.
