LatIA, 2023, vol. 1, 3

Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in telemedicine is revolutionizing the provision of healthcare services, especially in rural areas. These technologies enable the overcoming of geographical and resource barriers, facilitating precise diagnoses, personalized recommendations, and continuous monitoring through portable devices. AI systems analyze patient data and suggest the most appropriate care options based on their health profile, thus optimizing the efficiency of the healthcare system and improving patient satisfaction. In addition, the automation of administrative tasks through AI frees up time for healthcare professionals to concentrate on direct care. To ensure trust and effectiveness in these technologies, it is essential to implement clinically validated and unbiased algorithms, while fostering transparency and collaboration among developers, healthcare professionals, and regulators. Therefore, AI applied to telemedicine offers a revolutionary opportunity to improve the accessibility and quality of healthcare in rural areas by promoting more equitable and efficient care.
