Machine learning and deep learning-based approach in smart healthcare: Recent advances, applications, challenges and opportunities

In recent years, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) have been the leading approaches to solving various challenges, such as disease predictions, drug discovery, medical image analysis, etc., in intelligent healthcare applications. Further, given the current progress in the fields of ML and DL, there exists the promising potential for both to provide support in the realm of healthcare. This study offered an exhaustive survey on ML and DL for the healthcare system, concentrating on vital state of the art features, integration benefits, applications, prospects and future guidelines. To conduct the research, we found the most prominent journal and conference databases using distinct keywords to discover…
