The aim of this research work was to investigate the application of Artificial intelligence in health services. The research adopted the review research method, making use of secondary data comprising online published materials and library documents. From the results, it was observed that AI has various application areas in health services or medical services as a whole. AI has found its application in health delivery in areas such as Clinical Decision Support Systems, Robotics-assisted surgery, Electronic Health Records with AI-powered analytics, AI-assisted diagnostic tools, Predictive analytics for patient outcome, Telemedicine platforms with AI-powered diagnostics, Chatbots for patient triage and support, Virtual nursing assistants, AI-driven medication management, and Personalized medicine and treatment planning. It was also discovered that the integration of AI with health delivery or services has so many advantages, such as reduced healthcare costs, predictive analytics and disease prevention, improved diagnostic accuracy, increases in efficiency and productivity of services, and enhanced patient experience. The result of this work will be beneficial to health service providers, the general public, as well as some people with some form of illness that may require constant or regular contact with the health personnel. It was recommended that the application of AI in security, which is one of the challenges faced by our country and many other parts of the world today, be investigated in future works.
