Modern technology development created significant innovations in delivery of healthcare. Artificial intelligence as "a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behaviour in computers" when applied in health care resulted in intelligent support to decision-making, optimised business processes, increased quality, monitoring and delivering of personalised treatment plans and many other applications. Even though the benefits are clear and numerous, there are still open issues in creating automation of healthcare processes, ensuring data protection and integrity, reduction of medical waste etc. However, due to rapid development of AI techniques, more advances and improvements are still expected.
