Abstract

This book explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability in healthcare, focusing on how AI technologies are transforming medical practices while promoting environmentally responsible operations. It examines how AI-driven tools like machine learning and data analysis enhance diagnostic accuracy, streamline treatment planning, and personalize patient care by analysing large datasets, including genetic information. Additionally, the book addresses how AI can support sustainable healthcare practices by optimizing resource usage, such as energy consumption in hospitals, and improving supply chain management to reduce environmental impact. Practical case studies demonstrate how these technologies are being implemented to improve patient outcomes and achieve sustainability goals. The book considers the integration of AI into human resource management within healthcare, discussing AI's role in recruitment, performance management, and employee retention aligned with sustainability objectives. Ethical and regulatory issues surrounding AI adoption, such as data privacy and algorithmic transparency, are thoroughly examined, with an emphasis on creating responsible and equitable AI systems. Designed for healthcare professionals and administrators, this book provides practical strategies and real-world examples of AI implementation in sustainable healthcare, offering a balanced view of the opportunities and challenges ahead.
