The exponential growth in healthcare data, sourced from electronic health records (EHRs), medical imaging scans, wearable devices, and genomic sequencing, presents significant opportunities for AI-powered solutions to extract actionable insights and support clinical decision-making. The shortage of healthcare workers is also driving the adoption of AI and machine learning (ML) technologies. According to the World Economic Forum estimates from May 2023, there will be a global health worker deficit of 10 million by 2030. Hence, AI algorithms can be trained to analyze patient health data, aiding care providers in rapid diagnosis and treatment planning. Supportive government initiatives and the COVID-19 impact along with a rise in technological collaborations & M&A activities have contributed to the market's growth and accelerated the adoption of AI in healthcare.

AI and ML algorithms are increasingly being used for rapid and accurate diagnosis, including the detection of COVID-19-positive cases using personalized patient data. For instance, a 2020 NCBI study found that AI-based algorithms accurately detected 68% of COVID-19-positive cases in a dataset of 25 patients initially diagnosed as negative by healthcare professionals. The implementation of AI and ML technologies aims to enhance patient care, reduce machine downtime, and lower care expenses, driving market growth. The pandemic has further accelerated the adoption of AI-based technologies, particularly in diagnostics, patient and medication management, claims processing, workflow optimization, machine integration, and cybersecurity within healthcare settings.
