AI in healthcare: navigating uncharted territory

AI is undoubtedly changing the healthcare industry, making it more efficient and driving better outcomes for patients. COVID-19 has served as an accelerator of adoption – a catalyst in helping the industry catapult itself forward, taking advantage of the best technology has to offer. Barriers to adoption persist, however, as many applications of AI in healthcare remain uncharted territory. The vast majority of the world's health systems are not using their data and AI to make helpful predictions that inform decision making, creating tremendous opportunity to use data and AI to help make more insightful healthcare decisions. But the challenge is in finding common, replicable use cases. To start, healthcare providers are looking to understand how the disparate clinical data they gather can be organised better into an efficient pipeline that can be used to tap into accurate, predictive data intelligence.
