This study examines the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the healthcare sector, focusing on its potential to drive significant changes in business models and processes. Conducted by Roland Berger, the research involved consultations with 100 managers and executives across 12 countries, exploring attitudes towards AI and its applications. The findings suggest that AI will lead to a rapid evolution in healthcare, with 52% of hospitals already using AI in diagnostics and 32% piloting AI solutions. However, challenges remain, as 36% of hospitals have not yet adopted AI in therapy. The study highlights the need for healthcare organizations to adapt to an AI-driven future, emphasizing that strategic partnerships with technology firms are preferred over in-house development. It also discusses the implications of AI on patient care, workforce dynamics, and the necessity for stakeholders to act promptly to leverage AI's benefits. The document outlines various scenarios for AI adoption over the next five years and provides recommendations for stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem.
