AI's Role in Addressing Healthcare Demand and Supply Challenges
The aging population in the U.S. is poised to increase demand for healthcare services significantly, leading to a potential shortage of clinical capacity as fewer clinicians enter the field. This rising demand coupled with dwindling supply creates a challenging environment for healthcare delivery. Artificial intelligence (AI) could play a crucial role in managing and proactively addressing this demand by engaging consumers more effectively and optimizing resource allocation. As AI systems evolve, they can help healthcare providers offer better care while addressing the financial pressures on the sector.
