Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming healthcare delivery by facilitating the development of precision medicine, which prioritizes personalized diagnostic and treatment strategies based on individual genetic, physiological, and lifestyle profiles. This study investigates the contributions of AI and ML in enhancing clinical decision-making, improving diagnostic accuracy, and supporting remote patient management. A mixed-methods framework was applied, combining quantitative analysis of clinical datasets with qualitative interviews and real-world case evaluations. Machine learning algorithms, including convolutional neural networks and ensemble models, were trained on public datasets to assess their impact on diabetes and cardiovascular care. Results showed significant improvements in glycemic control and reductions in hospital readmissions, indicating effective treatment personalization. Semi-structured interviews with patients and healthcare professionals revealed strong support for AI-enabled tools, highlighting perceived benefits such as increased efficiency, ease of use, and diagnostic clarity. Case studies of wearable health devices and telemedicine systems demonstrated enhanced care accessibility and a reduction in in-person clinical consultations. Ethical and operational challenges were identified as key concerns. Issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, lack of explainability, and the need for sustained human oversight were recurrent themes in stakeholder feedback. These challenges underscore the necessity of implementing transparent, accountable, and ethically grounded AI systems in clinical practice. The study underscores the dual necessity of technological capability and ethical rigor in deploying AI for precision medicine. Through a comprehensive analysis of clinical, experiential, and operational data, the research highlights both the promise and the complexity of integrating AI in modern healthcare environments.
