CHANNEL SNAPSHOT:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) includes a multitude of tools, systems, and technologies that allow computers to sense, comprehend, learn, and act. This notion will redefine the way we access and delivery of healthcare services at scale. In particular, repetitive clinical and administrative functions are expected to be fulfilled by tools implementing directed or generalizable algorithms to augment our capacity to deliver quality care services, ranging from risk prediction and screening of disease-related conditions to diagnosis and treatment of patients.
In this channel, we take big industry-wide challenges in healthcare and align value-generating AI solutions that serve these needs at all levels. Key subsegments for this channel with estimated global market values by 2026 are (source: Accenture analysis 2019):
