Olugbami, Oluwafunmilayo Ogundeko and Ogundeko, Oluwaseun (2025) AI-enhanced predictive analytics systems combatting health disparities while driving equity in U.S. healthcare delivery. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 25 (1). pp. 2067-2084. ISSN 2581-9615

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enhanced predictive analytics systems are revolutionizing the U.S. healthcare landscape by addressing pervasive health disparities and fostering equitable care delivery. This manuscript examines how AI-driven tools empower healthcare systems to identify and mitigate inequities while optimizing outcomes for underserved populations. By leveraging advanced algorithms and data integration, predictive analytics provides actionable insights that transform decision-making, resource allocation, and patient engagement. The discussion begins with an overview of health disparities in the U.S., emphasizing the disproportionate impact on marginalized communities and the urgent need for innovative solutions. It then explores the role of AI in enhancing predictive analytics, detailing how machine learning and natural language processing uncover hidden trends, forecast disease progression, and personalize care strategies. Real-world applications illustrate how these systems improve early detection of chronic conditions, streamline care pathways, and ensure resource distribution aligns with population needs. The manuscript further highlights the ethical and practical considerations of implementing AI systems, such as addressing algorithmic biases, ensuring data transparency, and protecting patient privacy. By presenting solutions to these challenges, including the development of equitable algorithms and community-centered data collection methods, the manuscript underscores the potential of AI in driving systemic change. Ultimately, this manuscript advocates for a collaborative approach that combines technological innovation with policy reforms to achieve equitable healthcare delivery. By showcasing the transformative capabilities of AI-enhanced predictive analytics, it demonstrates their pivotal role in reducing health disparities and promoting fairness across the U.S. healthcare system.
