Machine learning in the medical field: A comprehensive overview

Abstract

Machine learning utilization in medicine has increased interest over the last few years. With its impressive results in treating diseases and medical conditions, it will be important to understand and analyze how the scientific community has used it. Thus, opening up space for new research and opportunities in medicine. The objective of this study is to review the literature on machine learning applications in the medical sector. Therefore, we conducted an extensive research by reviewing recent studies and surveys on machine-learning health solutions. As a result, we offer, in this paper, a fresh study affirming the foundations and necessities of a machine learning application in the medical field. We also provide a breakdown of current research trends, which highlights future research opportunities.
