Thesis Overview

The project titled "Exploring the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Diagnosing Infectious Diseases in Medical Laboratory Science" aims to investigate the potential of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosing infectious diseases within the field of medical laboratory science. Infectious diseases pose a significant global health challenge, requiring timely and accurate diagnosis for effective treatment and prevention of further spread. Traditional diagnostic methods in medical laboratory science often involve time-consuming processes and may be prone to human error, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. By integrating AI technology into the diagnostic process, this research seeks to streamline and improve the accuracy of diagnosing infectious diseases. AI algorithms have shown promise in various fields for their ability to analyze large datasets quickly and identify patterns that may not be apparent to human observers. In the context of medical laboratory science, AI can be trained to recognize specific markers or patterns associated with different infectious diseases, leading to faster and more accurate diagnoses. The research will involve a comprehensive literature review to explore the current state of AI applications in diagnosing infectious diseases and identify gaps in existing research. This review will inform the development of a research methodology that includes data collection, AI model training, and testing using real-world infectious disease datasets. The results of this study will be analyzed and discussed to evaluate the effectiveness of AI in diagnosing infectious diseases compared to traditional methods. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the use of AI in medical laboratory science and provide insights into the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AI technology into infectious disease diagnosis. By demonstrating the capabilities of AI in improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, this project aims to pave the way for the adoption of AI tools in medical laboratories to enhance patient care and public health outcomes.
