EDITORIAL

» The idea that machines can “think” and simulate human behavior has been around since the 1950s.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad term used to describe the application of computers to simulate intelligent behavior and critical thinking. The field of AI has continued to grow and evolve as the power and ability of computers has expanded. Today, AI is integrated into our daily routines by way of smart phones, computer assistants, and gaming systems among countless other things. Incorporating AI into medicine has the potential to support better and more precise care delivery, producing improved patient outcomes. This edition of FAQ will provide a wide overview of AI in podiatry and wound care, as we also examine the current status of AI in medicine, its utility in different disciplines and its future applications.

We appear to be on the verge of a sea change in the practice of medicine. Medical professionals have a need to understand and acclimate to these advances to support better healthcare delivery to the population served. It is my hope that you find the information in this issue of FAQ illuminating and enlightening. It has been my great pleasure to work with the contributing authors to bring this project to fruition.

Stay well,
Windy Cole, DPM, CWSP
