Abstract

The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to significantly transform numerous aspects of contemporary civilization is substantial. Advancements in research show an increasing interest in creating AI solutions in the healthcare sector. This interest is driven by the broad spectrum and extensive nature of easily accessible patient data‑including medical imaging, digitized data collection, and electronic health records ‑ and by the ability to analyze and interpret complex data, facilitating more accurate and timely diagnoses. This review's goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the advancements achieved by AI in healthcare, to elucidate the present state of AI in enhancing the healthcare system and improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare decision making, and to discuss selected medical applications of AI. Furthermore, the barriers and constraints that may impede the use of AI in healthcare are outlined, and the potential future directions of AI‑augmented healthcare systems are discussed.
