Abstract

AI and digitalization bring a great opportunity for reforming and even improvement of traditional healthcare systems in Unani physiology. This review, therefore, observes the important role played by AI and digital health solutions in modernizing health screening and diagnostic procedures in Unani medicine, thereby bridging traditional healing practices with contemporary technological advancement. AI refers to the advantages that may accrue via wearable health devices and telemedicine in real-time monitoring, early detection, and personalized treatment plans, thereby correlating diagnostic efficacy and patient outcomes for Unani medicine. AI aids in data gathering and processing in Unani practice giving feedback to the practitioner on humoral imbalances (Mizaj) and temperament-based treatment of the patient. Despite bright predictions, there remain mounting ethical issues, concerns for data sharing and data privacy, and behavioral challenges for the regulatory framework, all vying for clear guidance for sustainable integration within Unani practice. It would further be crucial to virtually augment access to Unani medicine by improving the digital health infrastructure, particularly in unprivileged rural areas. This review proceeds to present a discussion addressing both the opportunities and challenges of integrating traditional health systems and digital health from an Unani perspective with a view to charting the future course for Unani medicine worldwide.
