Introduction: From ancient palm-leaf manuscripts to contemporary digital platforms, Ayurveda represents a significant shift in conventional knowledge systems. This transformation highlights the integration of digital technologies in reshaping the way Ayurvedic medicine is practiced, taught, and disseminated. Methods: This review examines the current literature on how technologies such as telehealth systems, information and communication technology (ICT), and artificial intelligence (AI) have influenced Ayurveda. Key focus areas include digital repositories of classical texts, standardization efforts in diagnostic techniques, and advancements in AI-based applications. Results: The digitization of Ayurveda has enabled the creation of digital repositories, AI-based tools for herbal drug discovery, and personalized diagnostic systems. In addition, telemedicine has enhanced access to Ayurvedic care, particularly in rural and underdeveloped regions. Discussion: While digitization bestows numerous opportunities, it also raises concerns about authenticity, data ethics, and the preservation of epistemological integrity. This review concludes that interdisciplinary cooperation is essential to ensure that Ayurveda’s holistic philosophy continues to thrive in the digital era.
