ANNs are able to process and analyze vast medical datasets. They enhance diagnostic accuracy, especially by interpreting complex [[medical imaging]] for early disease detection, and by predicting patient outcomes for personalized treatment planning.<ref name=":15"/> In drug discovery, ANNs speed up the identification of potential drug candidates and predict their efficacy and safety, significantly reducing development time and costs.<ref name=":07"/> Additionally, their application in personalized medicine and healthcare data analysis allows tailored therapies and efficient patient care management.<ref name=":15" /> Ongoing research is aimed at addressing remaining challenges such as data privacy and model interpretability, as well as expanding the scope of ANN applications in medicine.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}
