Chapter 1 - Healthcare in the times of artificial intelligence: setting a value-based context

Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics for Smart Healthcare, Next Gen Tech Driven Personalized Med&Smart Healthcare, 2021, Pages 1-9

Mapping the current challenges in the health domain

The value-based health-care strategy imposes significant challenges to the adoption of medical technologies in the health-care domain. The recent pandemic of COVID-19 also proved that the deployment of medical informatics in creative ways toward innovation and bold solution to new problems and cases is a vital priority for the future of healthcare. The goal of SDG target 3d. is to strengthen the capacity of all countries, in particular developing countries, for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks (by using medical innovative technologies) and SDG target 9b. to support domestic technology development, research and innovation in developing countries, including by ensuring a conducive policy environment for, inter alia, industrial diversification and value addition to commodities
