Artificial Intelligence in e-Healthcare Supply Chain Management System: Challenges and Future Trends

Abstract

Many healthcare organizations have developed the practice of acquiring essential medical supplies and equipment, storing vital medications, meeting medical needs, and scheduling patient treatments without coordinating and synchronizing those actions. Professionals in the supply chain are finding it difficult to keep up with the vast amounts of data that are needed to create an integrated, efficient, effective, and agile supply chain in today’s complex, connected world. As a result, there is now a high demand for systems that can swiftly and intelligently analyze diverse large amounts of supply chain data. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the tools used to resolve the emerging industrial challenges. This study intends to explore how AI is used to manage e-Healthcare supply chains while also focusing on numerous security and privacy issues that occur in e-healthcare environment.
