Artificial intelligence technology has demonstrated its prowess across all sectors, from identifying criminals and enabling autonomous driving to facilitating self-checkout in unmanned stores and assisting physicians in clinical diagnosis.
Artificial intelligence offers similar or comparable advantages across various industries, primarily serving two auxiliary functions: facilitating high-efficiency decision-making and optimizing project operations. In terms of business support, AI assists physicians with diagnosis in the healthcare sector and enables automated trading in the financial sector. Regarding management optimization, AI supports hospital administration in healthcare and streamlines inventory and transaction processes in retail. Current industry applications indicate that AI is predominantly focused on aiding decision-making and optimization in existing business operations. The healthcare sector stands out as one of the most diverse and impactful areas for AI application, enabling doctors, patients, and hospitals to conduct diagnosis, treatment, and medical administration more rapidly and accurately.
VCBeat has been tracking, reporting on, and conducting research in the field of medical artificial intelligence for many years. In recent years, VCBeat Research Institute has successively released several thematic reports, including the "2016 Report on Innovation Trends in AI for Healthcare," the "2017 Industry Report on Medical Big Data and Artificial Intelligence," and the "2018 Report on Medical AI: Crossing Over and Starting Anew." Furthermore, through its regular publications, VCBeat has frequently provided in-depth analyses of AI’s capabilities, application scenarios, and product development within healthcare settings, offering valuable reference materials for industry professionals.
We have compiled these achievements and published the book *Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare*, which focuses on how AI is reshaping the future of global healthcare.
This book serves as both a knowledge primer and a practical handbook on AI in healthcare, providing a comprehensive review of the history, applications, and future prospects of artificial intelligence technologies within the medical industry. We thoroughly discuss the healthcare industry revolution driven by AI: precision medicine, intelligent healthcare, mobile health, telemedicine, low-cost care, and low-risk care will all become realities thanks to AI technology. By analyzing new technological achievements from domestic and international industry leaders in the field of artificial intelligence, along with authentic and cutting-edge investment case studies, this book enables readers to gain a thorough understanding of the industrial translation directions of AI and highlights the significant market opportunities in this sector.
