Abstract

As we know technology is at its boom in 21st century and it has touched our every aspect of life including The Ayurveda: ‘The science of life’. So for upgrading this ancient and 5000 yrs old system of medicine there must be full fledged inclusion of technology that allows computers and machines to function in an intelligent manner. This change with the help of technology is called as Artificial intelligence. It is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. By adopting and adapting this digital world in the field of Ayurveda we can create a revolutionary change. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical field has been growing rapidly. The majority of the studies utilized AI models to predict certain patterns and find reliable computerized models to assist physicians. The objective of this article is to categorize and seek the current and further usage of AI in Ayurveda. A systematic scoping review has been conducted. The entire database, articles, and news have been used to find studies regarding AI and Ayurveda. A broad-range search strategy was applied to locate all relevant studies. Although the results from this review have shown the potential use of AI models in Ayurveda, future research ought to focus on verifying and validating the models by performing a large-scale clinical trial to better promote AI in Ayurveda in the era of digital health.
