The role of agentic artificial intelligence in healthcare: a scoping review
Agentic AI represents a promising evolution of artificial intelligence in healthcare, with systems capable of operating autonomously to achieve defined clinical goals. However, the literature lacks conceptual clarity in distinguishing AI agents from Agentic AI, and few studies have rigorously explored their applications. We conducted a scoping review across five databases, identifying seven eligible studies spanning emergency medicine, oncology, radiology, and rehabilitation. The included systems demonstrated fe…
Agentic AI systems demonstrated autonomous, goal-directed behavior with high accuracy in cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, alert generation, coaching, and workflow optimization across emergency medicine, oncology, radiology, and rehabilitation pilots.
Most agentic AI studies in healthcare were exploratory, limited in scope, lacked robust clinical validation, and lacked conceptual clarity, with only one trial involving patients.
Most included studies were exploratory and lacked robust clinical validation, with only one trial involving patients, limiting generalizability to real-world practice.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0166 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
