This paper explores the current state and key challenges of implementing personalized medicine and artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare system of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). It highlights the transformative potential of personalized medicine to deliver tailored treatments based on an individual’s genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors, while AI enhances the accuracy of diagnosis and therapy. Despite significant global advancements in personalized medicine and AI integration, B&H lags behind due to challenges such as outdated infrastructure, fragmented healthcare systems, limited education on these topics and insufficient funding. Through surveys of local and international students and interviews with healthcare professionals, the study reveals a widespread lack of awareness and education about personalized medicine and AI. The findings emphasize the need for education reform, interdisciplinary collaboration and greater investment in healthcare digitization. The study also draws comparisons with successful implementations of personalized medicine in European (EU) countries, such as the use of advanced diagnostic technologies. Recommendations include initiating educational workshops, enhancing collaboration between diagnostic centers and clinical institutions, and leveraging European funding opportunities. By addressing these gaps and leveraging existing technological infrastructure, B&H has the potential to advance towards a more efficient, patient-centered healthcare system. This research provides actionable insights for policymakers, educators, and healthcare providers to foster innovation, improve public awareness, and integrate global best practices into the local healthcare framework in B&H.
