Application of Generative AI in Healthcare Systems

Generative AI has immensely influenced various fields, such as education, marketing, art and music, and especially healthcare. Generative AI can benefit the patient through various approaches. For instance, it can enhance the image qualities negatively affected by radiation reduction, preventing patients from needing to repeat the image-taking process. Also, the generation of one type of image from another more expensive one can help patients save funds. Generative AI facilitates the administrative process, letting the doctor focus more on the treatment process. It even goes further by helping medical professionals with diagnosis and decision- making, suggesting possible treatment plans according to the patient symptoms. This book introduces several practical GenAI healthcare applications, especially in medical imaging, pandemic prediction, synthetic data generation, clinical administration support, professional education, patient engagement, and clinical decision support, providing a review of efficient GenAI tools and frameworks in this area. GenAI empowers the treatment process through several methods; however, some ethical, privacy, and security challenges require attention. Despite the challenges presented, GenAI technological and inherited characteristics smooth the path of improvement for it in the future.
