I am researching how data mining and machine learning can impact healthcare. In my research, I hope to find how machine learning can positively or negatively impact healthcare. I found all of my information in the CINAHL database.

Relevant Journals: Balancing risks and benefits of artificial intelligence in the health sector

I thought that this journal could be good to use during my research because it talks about both the good and bad of machine learning (AI) in healthcare. I think it is important to recognize the positive effects it can have, but also recognize that there can be negatives as well.

I do believe that I have reached saturation while researching. I am running out of ideas for terms to search that do not return results that I have already seen. I noticed today that the searches #1, #2, and #3 returned the same article in the top results. At this point, I feel like I am just trying to narrow down the searches to return fewer results. I am hoping that this solidifies that the sources I have already found will work for my research.
