Up to now, medical services based on artificial intelligence (AI) have been developed to mainly diagnose cancers. But with respect to infectious diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and cholera, no organization has yet provided medical services based on artificial intelligence.
Both organizations are planning to have the service utilized at primary medical institutions such as clinics and small and mid-sized hospitals across the nation.
