Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally transforming healthcare delivery by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, enabling personalized treatment, and improving operational efficiency. This article examines the technical foundations of healthcare AI systems, current applications across diagnostic support, predictive analytics, robotics, and drug discovery, and the implementation challenges these technologies face. By analyzing the complex interplay between data acquisition, algorithm development, regulatory frameworks, and clinical integration, we identify both the transformative potential and practical barriers of AI-driven healthcare solutions. The evolution toward multimodal integration, federated architectures, and increasingly autonomous systems suggests a future where AI augments clinical decision-making while addressing privacy concerns and workflow integration. As healthcare AI continues to mature, success will depend on addressing interoperability challenges, ensuring appropriate validation methodologies, and developing technical solutions for transparency and bias mitigation.
