An examination of the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the practice and business of healthcare, drivers and barriers to achieving that promise, and how stakeholders can successfully navigate them

Over the last century, life expectancy has increased dramatically. The progress made in improving health in that time span has eclipsed all the progress made in human history up to that point combined. Much of that progress has been on a foundation of better diagnostics and collecting an increasing amount of data from the patients, which has only accelerated with the introduction of digital technologies. The next frontiers for making major progress in further improving health will be through the understanding of what all of this data means. AI is the only technology on the horizon that can translate all this data into meaningful improvements in health.

In AI Doctor: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, Dr. Ronald M. Razmi provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the current impact and future potential of AI in the healthcare industry.
