Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely used in the health sector for diagnostic, assistance and guidance purposes. However, its expansion has come up against applicability barriers in underdeveloped countries due to structural, financial and technological limitations encountered within a specific context. With this letter, we draw attention to the challenges of implementing AI in developing countries, suggesting strategies for scientific studies to optimise this.
