Healthcare organizations are complicated and demanding for all stakeholders, but artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized several sectors, especially healthcare, with the potential to enhance patient outcomes and standard of life. Quick advancements in AI can transform healthcare by implementing it into clinical procedures. Reporting AI's involvement in clinical settings is vital for its successful adoption by providing medical professionals with the necessary information and tools. This paper offers a thorough and up-to-date summary of the present condition of AI in medical settings, including its possible uses in patient interaction, treatment suggestions, and disease diagnosis. It also addresses the challenges and limitations, including the necessity for human expertise along with future directions. In doing so, it improves the understanding of AI's relevance in healthcare and supports medical institutions in successfully implementing AI technologies. The structured literature review, with its dependable and reproducible research process, allowed the authors to acquire 337 peer-reviewed publications from indexing databases, such as Scopus and EMBASE, without any time restrictions. The researchers utilized both qualitative and quantitative factors to assess authors, publications, keywords, and collaboration networks. AI implementation in healthcare holds enormous potential for enhancing patient outcomes, treatment recommendations, and disease diagnosis. AI technologies can use massive datasets and recognize patterns to beat human performance in various healthcare domains. AI provides improved accuracy, reduced expenses, and time savings. It can transform customized medicine, optimize drug dosages, improve management of population health, set guidelines, offer digital medical assistants, promote mental health services, boost patient knowledge, and maintain patientclinician trust. AI can be utilized to detect diseases, develop customized therapy plans, and support medical professionals with their clinical decision-making. Instead of just automating jobs, AI focuses on creating technologies that can improve patient care in several healthcare settings. However, challenges such as biasness, data confidentiality, and data quality must be resolved for the appropriate and successful integration of AI in healthcare.
