The digital transformation has arrived in the healthcare sector. Health and fitness apps, electronic health insurance cards and the introduction of electronic health records help to master the challenges facing nearly all healthcare systems, such as treating an ever-growing number of elderly and chronically ill people, paying for expensive medical innovations and keeping structurally disadvantaged rural regions properly supplied with medical care. The processes behind the technological transformation offer tremendous potential for improvement for hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and physicians associations alike.
adesso and Infermedica plan to seize this potential by leveraging their consulting and development capabilities, as well as their expertise in digital solutions, to tackle the challenges in the healthcare sector. The integration of the AI-based Symptom Checker, for example, aims to promote targeted, enhanced medical care. Patients can use the online tool to assess their symptoms themselves. Infermedica and adesso are focusing on AI applications that will make day-to-day administrative tasks at hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and insurance companies easier, with the goal of significantly relieving doctors’ workloads and freeing up more time for treating and engaging with patients.
