THE REVOLUTION IN BATTLEFIELD MEDICINE THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MILITARY HEALTHCARE AND BIODEFENSE

Introduction

Current warfare has contributed to awareness of advanced and complicated health problems. Artificial intelligence is an essential component in transforming healthcare on the battlefield, and its importance is increasing day by day to upgrade their military strength. 1 Automation tools are improving diagnostic capabilities, enabling quick and accurate decision-making ability during warfare, and ultimately saving more lives.

Today’s defence healthcare system and military operations both make extensive use of artificial intelligence. Utilising and collecting real-time data during military operations and times of war is advantageous and aids in coping with stressful circumstances. Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) of Government research departments, like DRDO5, with IIT and other leading universities to develop a number of useful AI-based innovations, including portable diagnostic devices, health monitoring devices, and injury assessment tablets. In order to provide the severely injured soldier or medic with the right care, artificial intelligence-based telemedicine platforms typically offer dose individualisation under 1specialised medical care systems and effectively allocate all available resources. 6 Some of the recent innovations demonstrated by pilot projects focused on biological surveillance and AI-operated battlefield diagnosis, two essential elements in enhancing soldier health analytics and biodefense availability. Since technology has become a necessary tool in every aspect of life in the modern world, we can improve intervention and operational resilience in the security sector to keep our security system up to date and prepared for any kind of operation at all times.
