ABSTRACT
For long health services have faced several challenges, chief among them being rising expenditure and workforce shortages without clear solutions in sight (Topol, 2019). At the same time, there has been an unprecedented generation of medical data ranging from sources such as electronic health records, medical imaging and laboratory units (Sidey-Gibbons & Sidey-Gibbons, 2019). Clinicians have for long relied on computers to analyse such data as the analysis of such complex, and large datasets exceed their human capacity. In this context, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) with its ability to significantly enhance the data analysis process has presented an opportunity for clinicians and healthcare administrators to gain better 2insights (Reddy, 2018). An opportunity to optimise care delivery, reduce healthcare delivery costs and support a stretched workforce.
