Healthcare Transformation Using Artificial Intelligence

Provides insights into executing healthcare transformation through AI, and deploying health technology at scale. It focuses on improving patient outcomes while managing costs, highlighting selected use of AI and contrasting it with a "tech push" approach. Through interactions with leading clinicians and healthcare administrators, this book presents the most urgent challenges facing patients, such as lifestyle, self-empowerment, adherence, knowledge, and behavior change, and clinicians, including information overload, time scarcity, rapidly changing guidelines, care quality, and administrative burdens.

The book explains recent AI breakthroughs and critically evaluates their promise, showing how AI can be successfully deployed to address these challenges. Real deployments, scaling, and evidence-gathering illustrate the best bets for AI in healthcare. Innovation is moving fast, but patient safety, clinical trials, and regulatory approvals ensure appropriate adoption. This resource is valuable for health professionals, scientists, researchers, practitioners, and students wishing to expand their knowledge in this field.
