What are the various benefits of AI in monitoring the progression of contagious diseases?

AI may be used to track the spread of infectious diseases by analysing data from diverse sources, such as social media, news stories, medical records, and public health databases. Some examples of AI in monitoring contagious diseases are:

• AI techniques help in identifying keywords, phrases, or patterns related to symptoms, sickness, or infection.
• AI may anticipate prospective disease outbreaks or follow the progress of an existing infectious disease by recognising similar content or geolocation data.
• The use of AI technologies during COVID-19 is a recent example of the application of AI to monitor contagious diseases. During this pandemic, AI tools were used to spread awareness, identify the virus, identify disease through X-Ray and CT scans, develop vaccines, anticipate and track the spread of the virus, and monitor patients.
