AI in healthcare: navigating the noise

20 September 2024

The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) in 2023 propelled it into the spotlight, prompting increasing questions over how AI could be used to support the healthcare system. Deployed well and in the appropriate contexts, AI has the potential to help the healthcare system overcome a range of challenges.

With the field of AI evolving at pace, this primer has been developed to support healthcare organisations to navigate the noise. Intended for board members and wider teams, it demystifies the language of AI and showcases how organisations and systems are using it – and to what end. With more and more organisations exploring AI’s potential, this primer also suggests how you can use early conversations with suppliers to consider whether an AI solution is what you need.
