The healthcare industry is changing thanks to AI, that is improving drug research, patient management and disease diagnostics. This paper explores the various uses of AI in important fields such as natural language processing (NLP), predictive analytics, medical imaging and personalized medicine. By analysing vast quantities of medical data, AI systems exhibited amazing efficacy within diagnosing diseases like cancer, interpreting medical imaging and forecasting patient outcomes. AI has greatly reduced both time and expense in the drug development process by optimizing the process of finding new medicinal molecules and repurposing current medications. Furthermore, AI is improving personalized medicine by evaluating patient and genomic data to develop individualized therapy regimens that improve patient outcomes. Healthcare workers workloads are lessened by AI, which also aids clinical decision-making and automates administrative duties. Nonetheless, issues like algorithmic bias, data privacy and the requirement for transparent, comprehensible AI models continue to exist. This paper tackles these challenges while examining how AI might spur innovation, improve patient care and help healthcare professionals negotiate the intricacies of contemporary healthcare systems.
