Abstract

AI-driven smart technologies and applications have the potential to transform the healthcare sector and serve as a crucial tool in advancing the third goal of the Sustainable Development Goals, "Good Health and Well-being." This study provides a comprehensive analysis of various AI-driven technologies that facilitate broader access to healthcare services, enable the development of personalized treatment approaches, enhance early disease detection, promote more efficient and sustainable healthcare delivery, and contribute to the reduction of health disparities. Specifically, the study explores the integration of key technological areas including telemedicine, the Internet of Things (IoT), digital twins, bioinformatics, and machine learning, highlighting their individual and collective impacts on health outcomes and healthcare systems. The study further identifies and critically discusses technological, regulatory, and ethical barriers that may hinder the effective adoption of these advanced solutions.
