Abstract: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has transformed disease detection and management, especially in early diagnosis systems. By leveraging multi-modal healthcare data such as imaging, electronic health records (EHR), genomics, and wearable sensor data, AI systems can provide unmatched accuracy in the early detection of diseases. Early diagnosis is essential to enhance patient outcomes and minimize healthcare expenses. Multi-modal data captures a variety of views of a patient's status, and when intelligently combined with deep learning and machine learning algorithms, can unlock intricate patterns that are not easily discernible with single-modal analysis. This paper discusses the design and use of AI-driven early diagnosis systems using multi-modal healthcare data. It emphasizes recent breakthroughs, data fusion methods, and several AI algorithms with encouraging results. In addition, the paper assesses the performance of these systems across various disease areas including oncology, cardiology, neurology, and infectious diseases. Based on real-world case studies and experimental assessment, we showcase how AI enhances diagnostic accuracy, decreases diagnostic delay, and individualizes treatment planning. Last but not least, the paper discusses limitations in integration, explainability, privacy, and scalability, providing guidance on future research and development.
