| Abstract | ||
| This comprehensive literature review investigates the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in nutritional healthcare, focusing on their applications in personalized nutrition, dietary assessment, chronic disease management, and preventive healthcare. Through a systematic analysis of recent studies, we identify emerging trends, methodological approaches, implementation challenges, and future directions in this dynamic field. The findings highlight that AI and ML algorithms significantly enhance the precision and efficacy of nutritional interventions by enabling tailored dietary recommendations, improving dietary assessment accuracy, and optimizing chronic disease management strategies. These technologies leverage vast datasets to predict individual nutritional needs and health outcomes, fostering proactive healthcare approaches. However, challenges such as data quality, algorithmic bias, privacy concerns, and seamless clinical integration remain significant hurdles. The review underscores the necessity for interdisciplinary collaboration among nutritionists, healthcare providers, and data scientists to address these challenges and fully harness AI/ML’s potential, advancing evidence-based practices in nutritional healthcare for improved patient outcomes. | ||
