description Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability and death globally, presenting significant challenges for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. As healthcare technology advances, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool in enhancing TBI rehabilitation outcomes. This literature review explores the current and potential applications of AI in TBI management, focusing on AI’s role in diagnostic tools, neuroimaging, prognostic modeling, and rehabilitation programs. AI-driven algorithms have demonstrated high accuracy in predicting mortality, functional outcomes, and personalized rehabilitation strategies based on patient data. AI models have been developed to predict in-hospital mortality of TBI patients up to an accuracy of 95.6%. Furthermore, AI enhances neuroimaging by detecting subtle abnormalities that may be missed by human radiologists, expediting diagnosis and treatment decisions. Despite these advances, ethical considerations, including biases in AI algorithms and data generalizability, pose challenges that must be addressed to optimize AI’s implementation in clinical settings. This review highlights key clinical trials and future research directions, emphasizing AI’s transformative potential in improving patient care, rehabilitation, and long-term outcomes for TBI patients.
