Artificial intelligence in health – the three big challenges

Abstract

The last twelve months have seen the already constrained Australian health space become an even more complex one.Faced by increasing demand for services, reduced funding and staffing, and pressures imposed by state and federal government health reform agendas, hospital based services are under increasing pressure to become more efficient in how they offer their services.There is a growing need for novel technologies that understand the complexities of hospital operations and offer much needed productivity gains in resource usage and patient service delivery.
