ABSTRACT This review paper examines the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and dynamic
ensemble techniques in enhancing healthcare services. By systematically reviewing literature and case
studies from the past decade, we explore how these advanced computational methods improve diagnostic
accuracy, personalize treatment plans, and optimize patient monitoring. Dynamic ensemble techniques,
which leverage multiple predictive models to improve outcome accuracy, offer significant promise in
addressing the complexities of patient data and disease manifestations. This paper delves into applications
spanning AI-driven diagnostics, personalized medicine, and remote patient monitoring, highlighting both
the advancements and challenges faced in integrating these technologies into healthcare. We also address
the ethical and computational challenges inherent in deploying dynamic ensemble methods and propose
directions for future research. Our findings suggest that while significant progress has been made, multidis-
ciplinary collaboration and continued innovation are crucial for overcoming current limitations and realizing
the full potential of AI in healthcare.

Finally, it is vital for healthcare providers to establish a
culture of privacy and security that permeates every level of
the organization. This culture not only protects patients but
also helps in building and maintaining the trust necessary for
the successful integration of AI technologies into healthcare
practices. By prioritizing ethical considerations like patient
