A resume of the main areas for AI implementation in healthcare and medicine.

AI function in healthcare	Description; AI is…	Examples
Diagnosis	Employed as a diagnostic support tool; it analyzes clinical/pathological data to identify the disease	(11, 16, 20, 21)
Treatment (identification)	Involved in identification of treatment, often patient-specific solutions (genomics, precision medicine); it could participate in providing early interventions to delay the onset of chronic conditions (pre-emptive medicine)	(22–25)
Health management/patient engagement	Featured in devices that collect data on patient health status and provide recommendations for everyday care (eHealth, Digital Therapeutics, Ambient Intelligence)	(26–28)
Health Systems organization support/simulation	Used in agent-based simulations that model care coordination capabilities, providing insights for organizational improvements	(29, 30)
