Chapter 1. Data Science and Artificial Intelligence: Exploring Collaborative Potential for Healthcare Sector

Exploring the game-changing potential of the data science and artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector, this chapter specifically looks into the use cases to develop practical guidelines for the industry to implement the technology at a higher level. By analysing the use cases of data science and AI in the healthcare industry, the chapter identifies key areas where the combined use of these technologies is bringing superior benefits to the stakeholders. These cases then become a base for the development of practical guidelines that can be adopted by the healthcare industry to adopt, integrate and intensify the use of technology in relevant areas of business performance. The chapter concludes with the fact that adoption of the holistic approach is required for the long-term adoption of the data science and AI in the healthcare sector. The study also emphasises close collaboration between industry and policymakers so that the process of technology is adoption can be sustained for a longer period of time.
