Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities of AI in Healthcare

By Nuoya Chen

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated the demand for telehealth solutions, leading to a shift in the healthcare industry. However, hospitals continue to face challenges such as understaffing, staff burnouts, and unsatisfactory patient experiences. The integration of AI in healthcare is seen as a potential solution to these problems, but it also presents its own set of challenges.

One of the major challenges is the underutilization of AI in healthcare. Despite the availability of data collected from wearables and home-use medical devices, doctors rarely use this data to make diagnoses. This is partly due to the lack of trust in AI-generated insights and the need for further training on how to effectively use this technology.

Another challenge is the competition faced by traditional medical device manufacturers. With the advancement of generative AI, these manufacturers are exploring open innovation strategies to transform their business models. They are facing stiff competition not only from large tech companies but also from startups that are leveraging AI to develop new healthcare solutions.

This book provides insights from various stakeholders on the challenges and opportunities of using AI in healthcare. It delves into the perspectives of healthcare providers, patients, and technology developers, offering a comprehensive understanding of the current state of AI in healthcare and its potential future directions.
