AI in Health

Healthcare is being pushed to its limits. Workforce shortages are growing. Clinician burnout is accelerating. Consumers are demanding a radically different experience. And artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept—it is rapidly becoming the foundation of a new kind of healthcare system. In this bold and timely second edition of AI in Health, internationally recognized AI advisor and former Microsoft health executive Tom Lawry presents a compelling operating guide for leaders navigating the rise of Intelligent Health Systems—organizations that use AI, data, and connected technologies to deliver more proactive, personalized, efficient, and human-centered care. At its core, this book makes a powerful argument: done right, AI is not about replacing people. It is about empowering them. Empowering clinicians with more time to care. Empowering leaders with better intelligence and decision-making. Empowering patients and consumers with greater access, insight, and control over their health. Blending powerful storytelling, practical insight, and real-world examples from across healthcare, pharma, and technology, AI in Health shows leaders how to move beyond experimentation and begin building the next generation of healthcare organizations. Urgent, visionary, and deeply practical, this is essential reading for anyone determined to help shape the future of healthcare.
