Abstract | ||||
Artificial intelligence (Al) is used in many fields in medicine to promote disease diagnosis and treatment, optimize meticulous care delivery and also in prevention of healthcare-associated infection (HAIs) as one of the popular proceedings of healthcare in hospitals. In prevention and control of infection, Al surveillance is more powerful and better than traditional surveillance as it is more accurate than the manual methods and it prevents the errors of the human methods to control the infection and it can be used in many applications under the definition of infection control like hand hygiene, waste management, surveillance of healthcare-associated infection and many other applications it is also used in training of healthcare workers to improve their practice. Using service robots in environmental cleaning decreases the risk to develop infection and reduces traditional cleaning/disinfection costs. Also, artificial intelligence (Al) is considered one of the developments in digital technologies data intelligence, and analytics. This minireview will highlight the application of artificial intelligence (Al) in infection control. | ||||
