The twenty-first century has witnessed significant advancements in informatics, reshaping our understanding of data processing and accessibility. Artificial intelligence (AI), encompassing techniques such as machine learning (ML), deep learning (DP), and neural networks (NN), is poised to revolutionize medicine. AI holds the capability of analyzing vast amounts of data, extracting meaningful insights, and making accurate predictions, thereby empowering industries to make informed decisions, drive innovation, and enhance efficiency. The landscape of medical AI has evolved significantly, demonstrating expert-level disease detection from medical images and promising breakthroughs across various industries. AI revolutionizes medical practice by leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning capabilities to improve diagnostics, treatment planning, and overall patient care. However, the deployment of medical AI systems in regular clinical practice still needs to be tapped, presenting complex ethical, technical, and human-centered challenges that must be addressed for successful implementation. While AI algorithms have shown efficacy in retrospective medical investigations, their translation into practical medical settings has been limited, raising concerns about their usability and interaction with healthcare professionals. Moreover, the representativeness of retrospective datasets in real-world medical practice is subject to filtering and cleaning biases. Integrating AI into clinical medicine holds great promise for transforming healthcare delivery, improving patient care, and revolutionizing aspects such as diagnosis, treatment planning, drug discovery, personalized treatment, and medical imaging. With advanced algorithms and machine learning capabilities, AI and robotics in Healthcare can analyze large volumes of medical data, extract meaningful insights, and provide accurate predictions, empowering healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and optimize resource allocation. The availability of extensive clinical, genomics, and digital imaging data, coupled with investments from healthcare institutions and technology giants, underscores the potential of AI in healthcare. This review article explores AI's powerful potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery across multiple domains, emphasizing the need to overcome challenges and harness its transformative capabilities in clinical practice.
