Healthcare Transformation using Artificial Intelligence
1st Edition
Robert JT Morris
English
Healthcare Transformation Using Artificial Intelligence provides insights into executing healthcare transformation through AI, and deploying health technology at scale. It focuses on improving patient outcomes while managing costs, highlighting selected use of AI and contrasting it with a “tech push” approach. Through interactions with leading clinicians and healthcare administrators, this book presents the most urgent challenges facing patients, such as lifestyle, self-empowerment, adherence, knowledge, and behavior change, and clinicians, including information overload, time scarcity, rapidly changing guidelines, care quality, and administrative burdens.The book explains recent AI breakthroughs and critically evaluates their promise, showing how AI can be successfully deployed to address these challenges. Real deployments, scaling, and evidence-gathering illustrate the best bets for AI in healthcare. Innovation is moving fast, but patient safety, clinical trials, and regulatory approvals ensure appropriate adoption. This resource is valuable for health professionals, scientists, researchers, practitioners, and students wishing to expand their knowledge in this field.
The Science of Tequila
1st Edition
Anne Gschaedler Mathis + 3 more
English
The Science of Tequila is the first English language book published on Tequila production. The book contextualizes tequila with historical, social, and cultural information, covering the cultivation of the Agave tequilana plant, the stages of the tequila production process, and the characterization of the final product. Finally, the management of tequila by-products are covered, including their sustainable uses and potential as biofuels. This book will be of interest to beverage scientists interested in the distillation and fermentation of alcoholic beverages, plant scientists interested in the agave plant, and engineers in the alcoholic beverages, biorefinery, vinasses, and waste treatment industries.R&D departments at beverage companies interested in producing tequila or mezcal will also benefit from this reference.
