Artificial intelligence not only has massive data storage capacity and powerful data analysis capability, but also can simulate human consciousness and thinking patterns using language recognition, image recognition, natural language processing and other technologies. At present, artificial intelligence has been integrated into every field of society, especially played an important role in the healthcare field of China. In this paper, the relevant literatures published in recent years about artificial intelligence in the healthcare field of China were reviewed and sorted, and the hotspots of artificial intelligence research were analyzed. The main application scenarios of artificial intelligence in this field were investigated and analyzed by classification and statistics. Finally, some challenges faced by artificial intelligence in promoting the healthcare of China were discussed and corresponding suggestions were proposed.
