AI and Global Health

AI and Global Health: Unlocking Transformative Potential provides a roadmap for practitioners to apply and leverage artificial intelligence to strengthen health systems, using the World Health Organization's health systems approach. AI is a rapidly evolving field with significant investment made in this industry in recent years from government and the private sector and this book articulates how this growth can be harnessed for countries that need a different approach to addressing global health problems. While global health is not the traditional audience for AI related work, there is transformative potential in the application of AI to global health that can impact every aspect of the system from financing to quality of care. The combination of case studies and secondary research inspires the possibility of what can happen using AI in healthcare, ensuring the use of robust, scientific evidence to draw conclusions. Additionally, readers will learn from others in settings where AI has been a tool for change, providing healthcare practitioners and policymakers to think through how it can be applied in resource limited settings. "AI and Global Health: Unlocking Transformative Potential" is a strong call to action for policymakers and healthcare leaders of governments, international organizations, and healthcare institutions to take the lead in AI implementation as a key lever for advancing global health goals through a systems approach.
