They cannot physically examine patients.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This results in an ineffective care plan prepared by a healthcare provider as he is not fully aware of the physical health of patients.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><strong>An AI and ML algorithm can play a major role here.
