The Power of AI in Unani Medicine
Unani medicine has been practiced in India for centuries, and its traditional methods have been passed down through generations. However, the traditional approach to healthcare has its limitations. The integration of AI and digitalization can significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of health screening in Unani medicine. AI-powered diagnostic tools can analyze vast amounts of data quickly and accurately, enabling healthcare professionals to detect critical patterns and identify novel biomarkers and drug targets.
Challenges and Opportunities
The success of AI integration in Unani medicine depends on its ability to be explainable and interpretable. Gaining the trust of healthcare professionals requires AI models to be transparent regarding their outcomes. This paper provides an overview of XAI (Explainable AI) in healthcare, including techniques, challenges, opportunities, and the need for regulatory clarity, ethical frameworks, and inclusive AI development.
The Future of Unani Medicine
As India progresses toward digital healthcare, the findings underscore the urgent need for regulatory clarity, ethical frameworks, and inclusive AI development to ensure equitable, effective, and future-ready patient care. The integration of AI and digitalization can pave the way for the development of new diagnostics and personalized treatment plans for patients.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the integration of AI and digitalization in Unani medicine has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach community health screening. By leveraging the power of AI and digitalization, we can improve clinical efficiency, accessibility, and patient outcomes while ensuring the preservation of traditional knowledge and practices. As we move forward, it is essential to prioritize regulatory clarity, ethical frameworks, and inclusive AI development to ensure that the benefits of AI are shared equitably across the healthcare ecosystem.
