It demonstrates how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance the patient journey throughout the entire continuum of care – from health promotion and prevention to diagnosis and treatment, all the way to rehabilitation and home care. The book shows how innovative technologies can make healthcare delivery more efficient while simultaneously strengthening patient-centered care. Another focus is on the integration of AI technologies into existing infrastructures and workflows, as well as their impact on patient care. Emphasis is given to practical approaches that enable the sustainable and efficient use of AI across all stages of the patient journey. As such, the book offers valuable guidance for anyone aiming to advance healthcare through innovative technologies.
With 41 expert contributions from 111 renowned authors, the publication provides valuable insights into concrete application areas, practical implementation, and the benefits of AI in healthcare. The subtitle "Innovation, Integration, Empowerment" represents the book’s three core pillars. It illustrates not only how AI can drive innovation, but also how it can be efficiently and progressively integrated into existing processes. The ultimate goal is to sustainably strengthen the patient journey and develop the healthcare system in a forward-looking way. This new publication is a current and practice-oriented reference work that provides well-founded guidance for the digital transformation in healthcare and offers inspiration for a modern, patient-centered care model. It is aimed at professionals and decision-makers in medicine, nursing, administration, and IT who wish to actively shape the transformation process.
