This latest award builds on the success of the previous volume, “Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare” by Prof. Dr. Mario Pfannstiel, which received the “HEALTHCARE ECONOMICS CONGRESS Book Recommendation” label back in 2022. The publication’s strong reception is also evident in its usage: the anthology has now been accessed more than one million times.
With his new work, “Artificial Intelligence in Support of a Successful Patient Journey,” Prof. Dr. Mario Pfannstiel continues the scholarly examination of AI applications in healthcare. The anthology highlights potential benefits throughout the entire patient journey and demonstrates how intelligent technologies can contribute to the further development of care, processes, and patient experiences.
