Role of artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry
Problem Statement
The healthcareindustry is ripe for a different transformation. From chronic diseases and cancer to
risk assessment and radiology, there is a never-ending opportunity to leverage the technology to
organize more efficient, defined and impactful interventions at precisely the right instant in a
patient’s care.Patients demand more from providers and the amount of existing data continue to
gain an incredible rate. In this way, artificial intelligence is used as an engine that drives the
improvement across the care continuum (Alvesson&Sköldberg, 2017).
AI provides a high amount of benefits as compared to conventional analytics and clinical
decision-making tools. Learning algorithms can develop into a more precise and accurate way
because they communicate with training information, and permitting individuals to increase
unprecedented awareness into the diagnostics, treatment variability, care procedures,and patient
outcomes.
Moreover, radiological images created by CT scanners, MRI machines, and x-rays provide non-
invasive transparency into the internal performance of the individual. However, there are
different diagnostic procedures that would depend on the physical tissue samples collected
through biopsies. It creates risks such as the potential for the virus. Artificial intelligence would
competent the next generation of radiology technique that is feasible and detailed enough in
terms of replacing the requirement for tissue sample in certain cases. It is also assessed that
inadequacy of trained healthcare staffs such as radiologists and ultrasound technicians can limit
the access to life-saving treatment in developing regions in around the globe. In this way,
artificial intelligence can aid to avoid the impact of the deficit of qualified clinical employees by
allocating the certain diagnostic responsibility to humans (Dimitrov, 2016).

Research Methodology
The research mythology section plays an imperative role in collecting feasible information with
respect to the current matter. There are many methods that are considered in research
methodology like research approaches, research strategies, research design, data collection, data
analysis method, sampling method, ethical consideration, and research limitation. These methods
could enablethe researcher to conduct research systematically and get areliable outcome in the
context of the current matter (Elhoseny, Abdelaziz, Salama, Riad, Muhammad, &Sangaiah,
2018). These methods are discussed below:

DISSERTATION PROPOSAL 5
Research approaches
Research approaches are imperative for conducting the research issue. There are certain
approaches that could are considered in the research like inductive and deductive approach.
In this research, the researcher will use the inductive approach facilitates the researcher to
conduct the research appropriate and get a feasible result. The inductive approach is effective for
collecting theoretical data with respect to about research issue. The deductive approach will not
be practiced by the researcher because it supports to make a hypothesis for conducting the
research and get a reliable result. The inductive approach is practiced for collecting theoretical
information about research issue (Hamet& Tremblay, 2017). This approach is also known as the
top-down approach and it is appropriate with positivism philosophy. It would lead to getting
reliable information in the context of research issue. The inductive research is also effective for
collecting data and aids researcher to create an approach for the study. Moreover, it is known as
the bottom approach to applying with interpretivism philosophy. The inductive approach allows
examining collected data in depth and supports to get information with respect to the current
issue. This approach facilitates the research scholar to collect a huge amount of information with
respect to the role of Artificial intelligence on the performance of the healthcare sector. It
facilitates to determine the relationship between consumer loyalty and deceptive advertising.
Moreover, the deductive approach also supports to concentrate on examining the quantitative
information that makes it inappropriate for this research study. Thus the deductive approach is
not practiced by the researcher to meet the aim of research (Patel& Patel, 2016).
Research strategies
The strategy of research study facilitates the investigator for getting reliable information
regarding research matter. There are several strategies that are practiced by the company such as

DISSERTATION PROPOSAL 6
literature review, survey through a questionnaire, case study, and content analysis. Research
strategy could be prominent for accumulating the relevant data towards the research issues.
Research scholar would utilize a content analysis technique to achieve the aim and objectives of
research concern. It enables the researcher to attain the aim of a research study in minimum time.
Accumulation of fresh data with respect to research dilemma is not required due to this research
scholar would not execute a survey through questionnaire method. Research scholar would use
literature review method and content analysis technique for attaining the feasible information
towards the research dilemma (Shukla, Lakhmani, &Agarwal, 2016, April). The research
strategy is the systemic method of data collection that ensures data availability for accomplishing
objectives of effectively. In this research, research will imply a survey through questionnaire
method and literature review to collect the information about the research issue. Survey through
questionnaire tool is effective for getting opinion and views of the research candidate towards the
research issue. Apart from this, the literature review approach is an effective tool for obtaining
conceptual information in the context of the current issue (Silverman, 2016).
Research design
It is another section of research design this is practiced for accomplishing the aim and objectives
of the research issue. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods are considered in the research
design. The qualitative research is effective for developing the understanding of specified
research issue. This tool emphasized many factors such as opinion, thoughts, and language as it
would be imperative to make a reliable decision. Moreover, the qualitative research design could
consider many methods like a focus group, questionnaire, interview, and experiments. In this
research, the mixed data collection method will be practiced by the researcher to conduct the
research as it would decline the overall quality of the research outcome (Wong&Bressler, 2016).

DISSERTATION PROPOSAL 7
Data collection
The data collection is imperative for collecting information about the research issue. There are
two kinds of methods that are considered in the data collection method like primary and
secondary data collection tool. Moreover, the primary data collection method is an imperative
tool for obtaining information about the research issue. There are certain sources that are
considered by the research scholar to obtain sources like interview method, observation method,
and survey through questionnaire method (Brewster, Chung, and Sparrow, 2016). Moreover, the
survey through questionnaire method is an imperative tool for collecting views of the research
candidates towards the current research matter. It would also be imperative for solving the
research issues and meet the aim and objectives of the research issue (Fortino, Guerrieri, Russo,
andSavaglio, 2014, May).
Data analysis method
A data analysis tool is an imperative tool to examine the collected information and get a
favorable result. There are certain sources that could be imperative for systematically evaluating
the data and get areliable outcome in the favor of the research issue named Ms-Excel software
and literature review method to evaluate the data. In this, Ms-Excel software will be practiced for
evaluating the factual information about research issue (Fan, Yin, Da Xu, Zeng, Y. and Wu,
2014). Apart from this, it is also evaluated that research the literature review method will be
practiced by the researcher to evaluate the theoretical information to reach at the valid conclusion
(Burns, Luckhardt, Parlett, and Redfield, 2014).
Research purpose
Research purpose assists the investigator to enhance and refine their understanding and
knowledge with respect to research concern successfully. On the basis of the research,problem,

DISSERTATION PROPOSAL 8
nature research scholar could utilize explanatory, exploratory and descriptive. Exploratory
research supports the research scholar to discover somewhat innovative but it does not provide a
certain and valid key to the investigation problem. Beside this, descriptive research is practiced
to elaborate and evaluate the performance and features of research participants that considers
their perception, beliefs, approach and other imperative factors which are associated with
research study (Cambriaand White, 2014). There isa certain purpose consisted in the descriptive
research such as explaining, validating and describing. Different research findings which are
efficiently practiced in the depth evaluation of research dilemma. Moreover, explanatory
research is practiced to describe the research concern in the context of varied and various
variables. Research purpose is also utilized to find out reasons and consequence of relationships
among various variable that is needed to describe for obtaining the objectives of the research
study. Exploratory research is chosen by the research scholar for this dissertation as it facilitated
them to evaluate the solutions related to the role of artificial intelligence in the healthcare
industry. In this dissertation, explanatory research is not practiced as it is relied on earlier
experience without including the present experience (De Vasconcelos, Gouveia, and Kimble,
2016).
