Optimizing Patient Care with Machine Learning Tools
Main Article Content
Abstract
The integration of Machine Learning (ML) into healthcare has led to significant advancements in patient care. ML tools have shown their potential in revolutionizing areas such as diagnosis, personalized treatment plans, predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring. This paper explores the various ways ML tools are enhancing patient care, improving outcomes, and streamlining healthcare processes. By examining case studies, current trends, and emerging technologies, this article demonstrates how ML is shaping the future of patient care. Additionally, we explore the challenges faced in integrating these tools into clinical practice, including issues related to data quality, privacy concerns, and regulatory hurdles. The paper concludes by discussing the future directions of ML in healthcare and its potential to improve patient experiences and overall healthcare delivery.
