A must read for anyone wanting to learn more about how AI is transforming the world of healthcare in this post-pandemic world. Ankur Teredesai Ph.D, Professor, University of Washington Founding Director, Center for Data Science Healthcare AI Entrepreneur In a substantive and brilliant follow-up to his prior impactful book AI in Health, Tom takes us on a futuristic journey of just how AI and its escalating panoply of tools can be in synergy with humans and concomitantly the necessary solution to our healthcare conundrum.

In health, as in most fields, the right information at the right time facilitates the right choice and drives the best outcome. AI and its associated advanced computational capabilities are essential to fuel critically needed shifts in healthcare. In this outstanding text, Tom Lawry renders the complex topic of AI comprehensible and impactful to a diverse audience. He moves the conversation beyond the promise of AI to describing actual applications and implementations. He also includes discussions of the most important underpinnings of precision health and distributed healthcare by highlighting prediction, prevention, precision intervention and outcomes, all of which will be greatly advanced by appropriate leveraging of AI to generate actionable information. This book is a foundational resource to leaders, innovators and trainees across multiple disciplines. It will join my list of top recommendations to colleagues and required reading for my students going forward.

Rhew, M.D Global Chief Medical Officer Microsoft Following the success of his first book, AI in Health, I predict that Tom Lawry's new work Hacking Healthcare will be another global Best Seller. Lawry not only has a firm grasp of the use and impact of AI in the health community but also has a thorough understanding of how AI can be seamlessly integrated in today's Intelligent Health Systems with other technologies to transform health for patients, health consumers and the clinicians.
