Artificial intelligence (AI) is already having an impact on work and everyday life and is helping people to carry out their work tasks. In the healthcare sector, AI is considered a key technology and a driver of progress and employment. New algorithms are helping to make AI a game changer in the healthcare market. Conventional treatment methods for diagnosing and treating patients are changing. Medical and nursing staff are to be supported and relieved by the use of AI. Artificial intelligence promises great benefits for individuals and companies. However, the social, financial, technical and legal framework conditions must also be taken into account. Despite the many possibilities, the use of artificial intelligence with personal data and in certain business models must be critically scrutinized and reflected upon.

This edited volume provides an overview of current – sometimes controversial – topics from theory, research, transfer and practice. In 43 articles, 82 renowned authors and experts present their knowledge, findings, experiences and assessments. Approaches to solutions and problem areas in the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare are highlighted. By clearly clustering and classifying the book contributions in topic-related overviews, the work is suitable for beginners as well as for practitioners and scientists.
