Mounting evidence has highlighted the implementation of big data handling and management in the healthcare industry to improve the clinical services. Various private and public companies have generated, stored, and analyzed different types of big healthcare data, such as omics data, clinical data, electronic health records, personal health records, and sensing data with the aim to move in the direction of precision medicine. Additionally, with the advancement in technologies, researchers are curious to extract the potential involvement of artificial intelligence and machine learning on big healthcare data to enhance the quality of patient's lives. However, seeking solutions from big healthcare data requires proper management, storage, and analysis, which imposes hinderances associated with big data handling. Herein, we briefly discuss the implication of big data handling and the role of artificial intelligence in precision medicine. Further, we also highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence in integrating and analyzing the big data that offer personalized treatment. In addition, we briefly discuss the applications of artificial intelligence in personalized treatment, especially in neurological diseases. Lastly, we discuss the challenges and limitations imposed by artificial intelligence in big data management and analysis to hinder precision medicine.
