Abstract

The rapid development of AI technology in recent years has led to its widespread use in daily life, where it plays an increasingly important role. In healthcare, AI has been integrated into the field to develop the new domain of smart healthcare. In smart healthcare, opportunities and challenges coexist. This article provides a comprehensive overview of past developments and recent progress in this area. First, we summarize the definition and characteristics of smart healthcare. Second, we explore the opportunities that AI technology brings to the smart healthcare field from a macro perspective. Third, we categorize specific AI applications in smart healthcare into ten domains and discuss their technological foundations individually. Finally, we identify ten key challenges these applications face and discuss the existing solutions for each.
