Abstract

Advances in computational and data sciences for data management, integration, mining, classification, filtering, visualization along with engineering innovations in medical devices have prompted demands for more comprehensive and coherent strategies to address the most fundamental questions in health care and medicine. Theory, methods, and models from artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the health care landscape in clinical and community settings and have already shown promising results in multiple applications in healthcare including, integrated health information systems, patient education, geocoding health data, social media analytics, epidemic and syndromic surveillance, predictive modeling and decision support, mobile health, and medical imaging (e.g. radiology and retinal image analyses). Health intelligence uses tools and methods from artificial intelligence and data science to provide better insights, reduce waste and wait time, and increase speed, service efficiencies, level of accuracy, and productivity in health care and medicine.

  • AI has become increasingly embedded in medical practice over the past decade, enhancing care capabilities from personalized health libraries and patient education to disease screening, diagnostics, and treatment planning.

    “Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly embedded in medical practice over the past decade, enhancing care capabilities from the development of personalized health libraries and innovative patient education strategies to disease screening, diagnostics, and treatment planning [1-4].”

    From Empathic AI for Patient-Centered Cancer Care: A Scoping Review of Patient Navigation, Support, and Clinical Practice (2026) · cites this paper as [2]

    The Abstract (page unavailable) describes AI applications in patient education, medical imaging, and decision support; Personalized health intelligence describes tailoring therapy plans and connecting patients with information. The copy does not establish a trend specifically over the past decade or describe the development of personalized health libraries. It discusses diagnosis and surveillance, but does not clearly identify disease screening as an application. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
