Revolutionizing Healthcare: The Role of AI in Diagnostics, Treatment, and Patient Care Integration
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a cornerstone of modern healthcare, driving innovations across diagnostics, treatment, and patient care. This paper provides a comprehensive review of AI applications within the healthcare industry, exploring how AI technologies are transforming the accuracy and efficiency of medical diagnostics, personalizing treatment strategies, and enhancing overall patient care. Key AI techniques, including machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing, are analyzed in the context of their use in medical imaging, predictive analytics, drug development, and virtual health assistants. The paper also discusses the integration of AI systems into existing healthcare infrastructure, focusing on challenges such as data privacy, system interoperability, and ethical concerns. Recommendations for optimizing AI adoption in healthcare are provided, with a focus on improving patient outcomes and system-wide efficiency.
