1 Artificial-Intelligence All kinds of Artificial Intelligence Any type of Artificial Intelligence system, undifferentiated.
2   AI-By-Model Classification by Technical Model This category classifies AI systems based on the underlying technical models they employ. true
3     Rule-Based-Systems Rule-Based Systems Systems that apply explicitly authored rules, logic, knowledge representations, or inference procedures to input data.
3     Machine-Learning-Models Machine Learning Models They include supervised learning models (e.g., Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests (RF)), which can be used for disease classification and risk prediction; unsupervised learning models (e.g., K-means clustering), which can discover hidden characteristics of patient subgroups; and reinforcement learning models, which can be applied in dynamic treatment plan management.
4       Deep-Learning-Models Deep Learning Models Examples include Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which perform excellently in medical image analysis; Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and their variant LSTMs, which are suitable for processing time-series physiological signal data; Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), which can be used to synthesize training data and alleviate the scarcity of medical data; and Transformer models, which are widely used in multiple tasks such as medical imaging, text analysis, and physiological signal prediction.
5         Foundation-Models Foundation Models Deep learning models trained on broad data at scale that can be adapted to a range of downstream tasks. true
6           Large-Language-Models Large Language Models These models, such as GPT-4 and PaLM, are trained on massive text datasets and can perform various natural language processing tasks, including medical text understanding, generation, and question answering.
6           Vision-Foundation-Models Vision Foundation Models Foundation models trained primarily to process and represent visual data for adaptation to vision tasks.
6           Vision-Language-Models Vision-Language Models Foundation models that jointly process visual and language data.
3     Hybrid-Models Hybrid Models These models combine multiple AI techniques to leverage their respective strengths. For instance, combining CNNs and RNNs can effectively process medical image sequences; integrating machine learning and deep learning models can enhance disease prediction accuracy; and combining rule-based systems with machine learning can improve interpretability and reliability in clinical decision support.
2   AI-By-Behavior Classification by Output Behavior Groups AI systems by whether identical inputs and execution conditions are expected to produce identical outputs. true
3     Deterministic-AI Deterministic AI An AI system that produces the same output for the same input when its model, configuration, state, and execution environment are unchanged.
3     Non-Deterministic-AI Non-deterministic AI An AI system whose output may vary for the same input and execution conditions, for example because it uses probabilistic sampling or stochastic processing.
2   AI-By-Scenario Classification by Application Scenario This category classifies AI systems based on their application scenarios in the medical field. true
3     Intelligent-Diagnosis-and-Treatment Intelligent Diagnosis and Treatment By analyzing massive volumes of medical data, these AI systems assist doctors in making more accurate diagnostic and treatment decisions.
3     Medical-Image-Analysis Medical Image Analysis Leveraging deep learning technologies, these AI tools automatically identify lesion areas in medical images.
3     Personalized-Treatment Personalized Treatment These AI systems create precise patient profiles to formulate personalized treatment plans.
3     Clinical-Monitoring-and-Early-Warning Clinical Monitoring and Early Warning Monitors longitudinal or real-time patient data to identify deterioration, adverse events, or other conditions requiring attention.
3     Clinical-Documentation-and-Workflow Clinical Documentation and Workflow Creates, summarizes, extracts, codes, routes, or quality-checks clinical and administrative information to support healthcare workflows.
3     Drug-Discovery-and-Development Drug Discovery and Development AI in this category accelerates the screening of candidate drugs and optimizes the design of clinical trials.
3     Medical-Quality-Control Medical Quality Control These AI tools are used to generate standardized medical document templates and detect defects in medical documents and images.
3     Patient-Services Patient Services AI systems here provide patients with services such as intelligent medical guidance, symptom self-assessment, and medical consultation.
3     Population-Health-and-Operations Population Health and Healthcare Operations Supports population stratification, public health, resource planning, scheduling, logistics, or other healthcare operational activities.
2   AI-By-DataType Classification by Processed Data Type This category classifies AI systems based on the types of medical data they primarily process. true
3     AI-for-Medical-Imaging-Data AI for Medical Imaging Data It mainly processes medical imaging data such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans.
3     AI-for-Physiological-Signal-Data AI for Physiological Signal Data This type of AI deals with physiological signal data like electrocardiograms (ECG) and electroencephalograms (EEG).
3     AI-for-Medical-Text-Data AI for Medical Text Data It processes text data such as electronic health records (EHRs) and medical abstracts.
3     AI-for-Structured-Clinical-Data Structured Clinical Data Processes coded, tabular, or relational health data such as diagnoses, medications, laboratory results, observations, claims, or FHIR resources.
3     AI-for-Genomic-and-Omics-Data Genomic and Omics Data Processes genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, or related molecular data.
3     AI-for-Audio-Data Audio Data Processes speech, heart sounds, respiratory sounds, or other clinically relevant audio.
