A study about current digital assistants for healthcare and medical treatment monitoring

The implementation of digital assistants in healthcare is not a new concept and has been in development since the first appearance of digital assistant technologies. The need to use these intelligent systems, is increasing due to population growth and the consequent overload of health systems. Nowadays the use of digital assistants in healthcare is becoming common and advantageous and its implementation in the healthcare field can potentially improve the efficiency of health systems and work as it means to provide quality medical care to everyone. This paper does a scoping review about the current state of implementation and development of digital assistants for healthcare and assess which health fields are more in need of these intelligent systems. Some medical fields still lack the implementation of digital assistants, such as treatment and rehabilitation, also some applications still need improvement and could benefit from the integration of new technologies such as deep learning and voice recognition.
