Increased AI tech and software funding for healthcare organizations says Deloitte Report

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the center stage in all industries. The trend is also observed in healthcare industries as reported by a report released by Deloitte in late October. The report, Deloitte's 2020 State of AI, explores the adoption and management of AI technologies in health organisations, as well as the benefits that have been reaped by them. The survey for the report was conducted in late 2019, just before COVID-19 took the world by storm. "The pandemic opened the aperture for digital technologies such as AI to solve problems and highlighted the importance of AI," the report states.
