Healthcare 

This white paper outlines the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, identifying opportunities to enhance care delivery, optimize operations and improve outcomes globally. As AI and digital technologies radically change the way in which industries worldwide do business, healthcare leaders have a choice to make: fundamentally transform how healthcare is accessed and delivered or continue down the road of incremental improvements.

Despite advances, healthcare is below average in AI adoption at scale. Challenges such as business and policy-related complexities, misalignment between technology and strategy, and regulatory fragmentation limit trust and hinder progress. To overcome these challenges, scale AI and achieve transformative change, six transitional shifts are needed for healthcare leaders to drive value creation.

The Digital Healthcare Transformation Initiative, launched by the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Health and Healthcare and the Boston Consulting Group, aims to support leaders to adopt these six shifts to accelerate AI integration in healthcare and enhance health outcomes globally.
