Hagar M. Mohamed, Sally M. Elsayed · 2025
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the healthcare industry, offering new possibilities for early disease prediction, personalized treatment, and enhanced decisionmaking. This paper provides an overview of the applications of AI in healthcare, exploring its potential to streamline operations, improve patient outcomes, and contribute to human welfare. The paper delves into the various types of AI systems, from narrow AI designed for specific tasks to general AI aimed at mimicking human intelligence. It highlights how AI tools, particularly when coupled with deep learning, can extract valuable insights from large healthcare datasets, enabling early prediction of diseases like cancer and chronic conditions. The paper also examines the role of AI in guiding clinical decisionmaking, leveraging predictive modeling to inform successive treatment decisions. Additionally, it explores the ethical considerations surrounding the use of AI in healthcare, including data privacy, bias, and the need to maintain the human touch in patient care. Finally, the paper looks toward the future, discussing recent AI-powered projects and research trends focused on understanding human bodily functions and enabling early disease detection. The potential economic rewards of robust AI implementation in healthcare are also addressed, underscoring the significant impact AI is poised to have on the industry.
