Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence In Healthcare, Mobile Health Applications, Medical Sensor Integration, Personalized Medicine, Enterprise Healthcare SystemAbstract
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), medical sensors, and mobile applications is revolutionizing enterprise healthcare systems, enabling superior patient care and operational efficiency. This scholarly paper explores the transformative power of this technological convergence, highlighting the role of mobile apps as the linking pin between patients, healthcare professionals, and the wealth of data generated by AI and medical sensors. The article delves into the benefits of continuous health monitoring, personalized care through AI assistants, and the automation of data collection and analysis. Furthermore, it discusses the implications for enterprise healthcare systems, including improved productivity, increased workflow efficiency, and enhanced accessibility of advanced healthcare services. The paper also examines the future of the healthcare landscape, where the synergy of these technologies is expected to drive innovation, optimize healthcare performance, and ultimately redefine the way healthcare is delivered and experienced. With the potential to revolutionize patient care and healthcare operations, the convergence of AI, medical sensors, and mobile apps presents vast opportunities for improving patient outcomes and addressing the evolving needs of the healthcare industry.
