Abstract
Healthcare is rapidly advancing in terms of technological uptake, representing one of the largest segments of artificial intelligence (AI) applications (Amante, 2022; Garbuio and Lin, 2019). Together with modern biotechnology for healthcare applications, ‘smart’ healthcare makes use of technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), wearable devices, cloud computing, big data, 5G, microelectronics, and AI (Tian et al., 2019). These applications play important roles in monitoring and disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment, hospital management, health decision making, and medical research (Tian et al., 2019). The evolution of smart healthcare has allowed for the implementation of surgical robots, intelligent diagnostic support systems and data management systems, telemedicine, among many other tools (Garbuio and Lin, 2019).
