Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed healthcare, particularly in robot-assisted surgery, rehabilitation, medical imaging and diagnostics, virtual patient care, medical research and drug discovery, patient engagement and adherence, and administrative applications. AI enhances pre-operative planning, intraoperative guidance, and post-operative outcomes in robotic surgery. In rehabilitation, AI enables personalized programs, physical therapy using robotics, and in real time monitoring and feedback mechanisms. The integration of AI with emerging technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality, and the Internet of Things holds promise for broader healthcare applications. However, AI adoption faces technical challenges related to data quality and bias, ethical and privacy concerns, regulatory and legal considerations, and issues of cost and accessibility. Future trends include advances in AI algorithms and robotics, integration with emerging technologies, and the potential for wider applications in healthcare and rehabilitation. Addressing ethical and security considerations is crucial for the successful integration of AI in healthcare while upholding patient safety and legal standards. Overcoming regulatory, ethical, and trust-based challenges with effective governance will be critical to the full realization of AI potential in healthcare artificial intelligence (AI)-driven healthcare solutions powered by IoT can enable in real time patient monitoring, enhancing early diagnosis and chronic illness management. AI applications in AR/VR can transform medical education by allowing healthcare professionals to practice intricate procedures in a safe environment. Wearable technology with AI-driven analytics can offer personalized health insights, facilitating proactive interventions and improved patient outcomes. Adopting these innovations can foster progress, enhance patient care, and boost overall healthcare efficiency. Future studies should refine these cross-disciplinary applications, ensure their smooth incorporation into current healthcare systems, and tackle potential ethical and security issues.
