Abstract

The practice of medicine across locations by the prudent application of information and communication technology is known as telemedicine.  As a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, telemedicine has experienced exponential growth on a global scale. Artificial intelligence has the potential to enhance and broaden the scope of telemedicine, opening up countless opportunities for creating solutions for particular medical need. AI in telemedicine has the potential to significantly aid in the implementation of the healthcare continuum and, where required, encourage and facilitate increased access to integrated healthcare. Four emerging themes may be used to identify the potential influence of AI in telemedicine: collaborative information analysis, intelligent aid and diagnosis, healthcare information technology, and patient monitoring. Healthcare implementation is fraught with issues related to safety, ethics, efficacy, efficiency, regulations, and finances. If doctors act as informed, helpful mentors and leaders in the process, their uptake will rise. For the medical community and patients to embrace AI, the benefits of the technology must be sufficiently shown. AI can assist doctors make better decisions and complete certain activities to enhance the quality of healthcare.

AI in telemedicine has the potential to significantly aid in the continuum of healthcare’s adoption. Throughout a citizen’s life, they may encourage and enable more access to integrated healthcare when and when needed. For example, the treatment of chronic illnesses requires ongoing, interdisciplinary care that is coordinated. AI can assist in meeting this demand by facilitating intelligent communication and information exchange between medical practitioners and by offering a knowledge basis for patient care.
