The path from task-specific to general purpose artificial intelligence for medical diagnostics: A bibliometric analysis

Resumen

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many fields, and its potential in healthcare has been increasingly recognized. Based on diverse data sources such as imaging, laboratory tests, medical records, and electrophysiological data, diagnostic AI has witnessed rapid development in recent years. A comprehensive understanding of the development status, contributing factors, and their relationships in the application of AI to medical diagnostics is essential to further promote its use in clinical practice. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to explore the evolution of task-specific to general-purpose AI for medical diagnostics. We used the Web of Science database to search for relevant articles published between 2010 and 2023, and applied VOSviewer, the R package Bibliometrix, and CiteSpace to analyze collaborative networks and keywords. Our analysis revealed that the field of AI in medical diagnostics has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with a focus on tasks such as image analysis, disease prediction, and decision support. Collaborative networks were observed among researchers and institutions, indicating a trend of global cooperation in this field. Additionally, we identified several key factors contributing to the development of AI in medical diagnostics, including data quality, algorithm design, and computational power. Challenges to progress in the field include model explainability, robustness, and equality, which will require multi-stakeholder, interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle. Our study provides a holistic understanding of the path from task-specific, mono-modal AI toward general-purpose, multimodal AI for medical diagnostics. With the continuous improvement of AI technology and the accumulation of medical data, we believe that AI will play a greater role in medical diagnostics in the future.
