The rediscovery of the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes has led to an increasing application of AI techniques such as deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics in the healthcare domain. Many governments and health authorities have prioritized the application of AI in the delivery of healthcare. Also, technological giants and leading universities have established teams dedicated to the application of AI in medicine. These trends will mean an expanded role for AI in the provision of healthcare. Yet, there is an incomplete understanding of what AI is and its potential for use in healthcare. This book discusses the different types of AI applicable to healthcare and their application in medicine, population health, genomics, healthcare administration, and delivery. Readers, especially healthcare professionals and managers, will find the book useful to understand the different types of AI and how they are relevant to healthcare delivery. The book provides examples of AI being applied in medicine, population health, genomics, healthcare administration, and delivery and how they can commence applying AI in their health services. Researchers and technology professionals will also find the book useful to note current trends in the application of AI in healthcare and initiate their own projects to enable the application of AI in healthcare/medical domains.

Transforming Global Healthcare Delivery: Leveraging Technology to Increase Accessibility and Affordability guides readers through the ongoing digital transformation of healthcare. The author makes the case for how tools like AI, telehealth, and data analytics can empower patients, connect underserved communities, and help health systems achieve the Quadruple Aim. Real-world examples along with the author's evaluations of digital health interventions showcase promising directions. The author argues realizing the full potential of new technologies requires corresponding advancement of care delivery models towards team-based, coordinated practice and spotlights innovative programs trailing shared appointments, community health workers, remote monitoring and more that can expand access and better meet individual needs. With authoritative analysis grounded in both research and practice, this book serves as a practical roadmap for digitally enabled, patient-centred care capable of delivering improved outcomes to all. Dr. Reddy has over 25 years of international experience as a clinician, researcher, and health system leader; offering an unmatched perspective on leveraging technology to enable patient-centred, value-based care. Transforming Global Healthcare Delivery: Leveraging Technology to Increase Accessibility and Affordability draws on extensive qualifications across medicine, public health, management, and informatics.

Health Services across the world both in developed and developing countries will see increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in all aspects of healthcare. Rapid developments in deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing and robotics and use of these approaches in non-health context will convince governments and health services to adopt these approaches in healthcare solutions. This will potentially lead to improved patient outcomes, minimization of medical errors, and cost savings. At the same moment, there may be a degree of resistance from clinicians and patients in incorporating AI applications in healthcare because of the potential for disruption in traditional models of care. So, there will be some work required by health services and software developers to involve clinicians and patients in the development of AI solutions and convincing them of the benefits in the use of AI enabled health applications. This book is an attempt to educate various stakeholders including the general public about AI, it's advantages and limitations and importantly how to appropriately reap the benefits of this technology in healthcare.
