Artificial intelligence (AI) is taking the healthcare field by storm as healthcare providers adopt its use to inform data-based decisions, improve clinical decision-making, and make their operations more efficient. This review discusses the fundamentals of AI, including machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing technologies and how they can be applied to diagnostics, individualized treatment, remote patient monitoring, hospital operations, and population health monitoring. The strengths of AI are the ability to identify early disease, custom care plans, and precognitive analysis to direct resources. Nevertheless, integration in healthcare systems is stalled by risk of having biased algorithms, data privacy, interoperability, and changing demands of regulatory guidelines. A solution to such barriers is interdisciplinary: combining multiple views to develop and validate the models legitimately, with transparency and trustworthiness. Future trends, such as explainable AI, federated learning and integration of the robots aim at a more flexible and patient-centered future. After all, the best role that AI can play is to augment human expertise by providing more precise, proactive and fair care but without losing that critical human touch in healthcare.
