Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have become important in medicine as shown in this review. Automatic tools can be trained to analyse patient data and thereby be a great asset to doctors when diagnosing and treating patients. Denmark is a leading country in collecting data. Having large amounts of stored data improves the quality when building a prediction tool. Due to the potential of building AI in the Danish healthcare sector, a significant amount of money has been allocated to foster new innovations in the field. Denmark could play a critical rule utilising data and implementing AI in medicine.
