AI-Powered Clinical Pathway Optimization in Personalized Healthcare provides an overview of how AI can optimize clinical pathways and explore significant application areas in personalized healthcare focusing on health conditions that require the collaboration of multidisciplinary medical teams and the personalization of treatment goals. Personalized healthcare requires medical teams to define a clinical pathway personalized to the patients' specific characteristics and requests, particularly the treatment objectives. A clinical pathway is a multidisciplinary therapeutic plan developed for a specific health condition and sequence activities and goals. Personalized healthcare variability and goals may often not allow complete automation of clinical pathways, requiring clinical intervention and decision-making with consideration of patients' situations. However, decision support systems can significantly reduce the time and expertise needed by medical teams to explore possible alternatives. More innovative solutions are needed. Personalized healthcare is increasingly gaining acceptance. Personalized healthcare is commonly identified with precision medicine, which aims to identify and explore the different characteristics, preferences, genetic and biological characteristics, and environmental contexts of patients suffering from the same disease to treat patients individually. However, personalized healthcare is a broader concept. It concerns practically all health conditions. Personalized healthcare requires defining clinical pathways personalized for each patient, particularly regarding the treatment objectives. A clinical pathway is a multidisciplinary therapeutic plan developed for a patient or for a cohort of patients with the same diagnosis-related to health conditions - indicating the sequence of steps and the time intervals to achieve the expected outcome diagnoses. Indeed, clinical pathways not only concern a single discipline but involve the various health professionals' collaboration and coordination of clinical and rehabilitation activities.
