Abstract

Drug development is a lengthy process involving high costs and a high failure rate. Currently, the most widely used method is one based on experience and scientific literature. However, there is a large amount of healthcare data, but most of it is fragmented or isolated, and incorporating it could increase the success rates of clinical trials. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can accelerate this process with its ability to quickly analyze and integrate large amounts of data, delivering more accurate results. Furthermore, it is essential to address ethical and legal considerations when incorporating AI technologies into clinical trials. To this end, policies and safety measures are emerging for their responsible use in medical attention and to ensure safe and effective implementation.
