Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare and offers new tools in clinical research, personalized medicine, and medical diagnostics. Thyroid function tests represent an important asset for physicians in the diagnosis and monitoring of pathologies. Artificial intelligence tools can clearly assist physicians and specialists in laboratory medicine to optimize test prescription, tests interpretation, decision making, process optimization, and assay design. Our article is reviewing several of these aspects. As thyroid AI models rely on large data sets, which often requires distributed learning from multi-center contributions, this article also briefly discusses this issue.
