1. Broad Scan
I started my research on Google Scholar to collect the most relevant studies regarding the topic
“Machine Learning in Medicine”. I then advanced my research to various libraries such as VU
library and also looked out for various IEEE conference papers online. Based on my research I
found approximately 30 to 40 papers which were in some manner related to the topic of the
study.
