Digitization of Healthcare
Bonn University Lecture
Digitization of Healthcare
In the midst of accelerated digitization and ubiquitous proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and algorithms for improved system efficiency, the implications of preventable losses and forgone gains due to rash implementation decisions and hesitant behaviour are much more profound for health and healthcare than for other, more commercial products and sectors. The stakes are high for correct diagnosis and treatment, protecting patient records and assuring ethical integrity of health care.
