The landscape of healthcare is rapidly evolving, with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) poised to revolutionize the digital health sector. Over the past few months, we conducted deep research and spoke with technology, AI and life sciences industry experts to explore AI in digital health, focusing on where to apply it and how to maximize its value.

AI, particularly Generative AI (GenAI), is ushering in a new era of possibilities in digital health. While traditional AI has long been utilized in predictive analytics, the emergence of GenAI brings unprecedented opportunities for tackling complex healthcare challenges.By strategically leveraging both predictive and generative AI technologies, healthcare stakeholders can enhance patient outcomes, streamline operations, and unlock new avenues for innovation.
To fully realize the benefits of AI, a strategic approach is essential: One crucial aspect highlighted in our white paper is the importance of delivering immediate value while also investing in long-term solutions. By deploying AI use cases that enhance user experience and streamline operational workflows, digital health products can garner early adoption and engagement. Simultaneously, cautious investment in powerful clinical applications, such as treatment adherence solutions, ensures sustainable value creation over time.
The white paper also summarizes our analyses of AI use cases in digital health. AI finds its utility across various stages of the patient journey, categorized into clinical and operational use cases. While predictive AI predominantly serves clinical needs like diagnosis, GenAI is adept at improving operational efficiency by supporting tasks such as appointment scheduling and data summarization.
Prioritizing AI use cases involves assessing the value they deliver against the implementation effort required. Low-hanging fruit scenarios, where GenAI chatbots enhance educational content accessibility, offer immediate benefits with minimal effort. Meanwhile, more complex endeavors, like predicting treatment adherence in real-time, demand substantial research and customization but promise significant long-term rewards.
