The World Economic Forum article highlights how AI can address significant global healthcare challenges, such as a shortage of health workers and limited access to essential services, by improving diagnostics, supporting clinical decisions, and streamlining administration. It details specific applications like interpreting brain scans, detecting fractures, assessing ambulance needs, identifying early signs of disease, and enhancing traditional medicine practices, while also acknowledging concerns around rapid rollout and the need for proper training and regulation.
Complementing this, the McKinsey report focuses on the adoption and implementation of gen AI, revealing that a significant majority of healthcare organisations are actively exploring or already using these capabilities. It identifies partnerships with third-party vendors and hyperscalers as the dominant strategy for adoption, with key areas of impact being administrative efficiency, clinical productivity, and patient engagement, alongside an emphasis on quantifying the return on investment (ROI). Both sources underscore the immense value AI brings to healthcare, despite facing challenges such as regulatory complexities and the need for robust governance.
