ABSTRACT

The global landscape is experiencing a major transformation in the delivery and management of healthcare, prompted by the swift advancement of digital technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI), telehealth, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), health wearables, robotics, and blockchain are several innovations that are integrating into clinical practice and the healthcare system. This review aims to critically assess recent developments in healthcare technology and analyze its influence on clinical care and healthcare systems. By employing the narrative review approach, the research relies on contemporary literature to offer an extensive perspective on technological innovations and their real-world effects. According to the results, AI significantly enhances healthcare by improving decision-making quality and diagnostic precision, while telemedicine expands access to healthcare, particularly in remote and underserved regions. Wearable devices and IoMT enable constant monitoring of patients, facilitating early detection and better management of chronic conditions. Additionally, automation and robotics employing AI significantly enhance healthcare by improving decision-making quality, diagnostic precision, and accuracy and effectiveness of the operations within healthcare systems. Despite these benefits, several challenges remain evident, including ethical concerns, data privacy issues, regulatory limitations, and infrastructure difficulties. Healthcare technologies possess the potential for transformation, yet their introduction must be balanced, underpinned by policy support, and continuously evaluated to ensure equitable and sustainable healthcare delivery.
