There are various applications that benefit patients manage a healthy routine, and keep in check their behavioural patterns.
They help in detecting the early stages of diseases via monitoring various symptoms, and aiding emergency care.
Robotics is a branch that is now entering healthcare as robots are helping doctors in difficult and precision-required surgeries.
They are supportive in rehabilitation centres as they guide individuals in their exercises and therapies. Recent growth can be observed in the research field due to AI, as implementing it in the right direction cuts costs and manpower in the field, along with saving time and lives.
A few machine learning technologies have provided a knowledge base in building up algorithms that can act just like the human brain itself.

Education

AI is a utility in the education sector in multiple ways. It allows the teacher and student to invest lesser time while giving out more potential in their learning process.
