Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the field of medicine, particularly through the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and neurofuzzy systems for diagnosis and predicting treatment responses. ANNs, inspired by the human brain's structure, excel at identifying complex patterns in medical data, such as imaging, genetic information, or patient records, enabling accurate disease diagnosis. Neurofuzzy systems, which combine the learning capabilities of neural networks with the reasoning of fuzzy logic, provide interpretable and adaptive decision-making tools, particularly useful in handling uncertainties inherent in medical data. Together, these AI techniques enhance personalized medicine by predicting patient-specific treatment outcomes, optimizing therapeutic strategies, and improving overall healthcare delivery. Their integration into clinical practice promises to transform diagnostics and treatment planning, making them more precise, efficient, and patient-centric.
