INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL E ROBÓTICA NA MEDICINA: INOVAÇÕES PARA O DIAGNÓSTICO E TRATAMENTO

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics have been promoting significant transformations in contemporary medicine, expanding diagnostic, therapeutic, and operational possibilities in healthcare services. This study aimed to analyze the impact of these technologies on medical practice, focusing on applications in diagnosis and treatment, considering benefits, ethical challenges, and limitations. This is an integrative literature review, of a qualitative, exploratory, bibliographic, and documentary nature, conducted in scientific databases between 2020 and 2025. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 28 studies were selected for analysis. The results showed that AI contributes to more accurate diagnoses, early identification of diseases, and optimization of clinical decision-making, while medical robotics favors minimally invasive procedures, greater surgical precision, and faster postoperative recovery. Benefits in medical education through simulators and augmented reality were also identified. However, challenges related to data privacy, algorithmic biases, regulation, costs, and inequality in access to technologies remain relevant. It is concluded that AI and robotics represent promising advances for medicine, but their implementation must occur in an ethical, safe, regulated, and equitable manner.
