Healthcare in the Age of AI: What CEOs and Executives Need to Know About Operational Efficiency and New Business Opportunities
10/04/2025
The healthcare sector is undergoing a pivotal moment of intense transformation. “A few years ago, we talked about the potential of Artificial Intelligence; today, it has become a tangible reality. (…) AI is establishing itself not just as a work tool, but as a transformative force that is reshaping the way healthcare is delivered.”
These are the opening lines of the report Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare | Transforming the Future of Medicine, published by the European Commission. According to the report, the latest advancements in this technology have the potential to improve outcomes, promote healthier lives, and enhance the operational efficiency of organizations—making the healthcare system more effective, accessible, and economically sustainable.
The Promise of AI in Healthcare
The Medscape & HIMSS AI Adoption by Health Systems Report 2024 confirms AI’s growing impact on healthcare. According to the publication, 86% of respondents report using AI tools within their organizations, and 60% believe this technology can detect health patterns and provide diagnoses beyond human perception.
The survey included more than 800 professionals, including healthcare executives, physicians, nurses, and IT specialists.
Meanwhile, the State of AI in Healthcare and Life Sciences: 2025 Trends Survey Report, published by NVIDIA—the world’s leading manufacturer of AI processing chips—indicates that AI adoption has led to revenue growth for 81% of the companies surveyed. In 45% of cases, this impact occurred in less than a year.
Furthermore, the consultancy Market Research Future projects that, within a decade, the generative AI market in healthcare alone could surpass USD 16 billion.
How AI Is Applied in Healthcare
The report Reimagining Healthcare Industry Service Operations in the Age of AI by McKinsey reveals that operational costs in the U.S. healthcare sector exceed USD 1 trillion annually. Artificial Intelligence is emerging as a strategic tool to boost operational efficiency and, in turn, reduce these expenses.
However, its applications go far beyond process optimization. AI has the potential to:
-
Support diagnostics in medical exams;
-
Aid in patient monitoring;
-
Assist with medical tasks;
-
Enhance operational efficiency;
-
Automate revenue cycles;
-
Prevent fraud;
-
Enable the development of new therapies and drugs.
