Driving Global Health and Sustainable Development Goals With Smart Technology

Book excerpt: The integration of smart technologies into healthcare systems is revolutionizing how medical services are delivered, enhancing the quality and accessibility of care. These innovations play a critical role in advancing global health. By leveraging technology, healthcare systems can address long-standing challenges such as inefficiencies, rising costs, and disparities in access. This transformation is not only driving better patient outcomes but also contributing to sustainable healthcare practices, aligning with global efforts to ensure well-being for all and support public health goals like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the world faces ongoing public health challenges, the adoption of smart technologies in healthcare is becoming increasingly essential for building resilient and equitable healthcare systems. Driving Global Health and Sustainable Development Goals With Smart Technology explores the profound transformation of healthcare systems through the integration of smart technologies. It focuses on how these innovations are shaping healthcare delivery, enhancing patient outcomes, improving operational efficiency, and driving sustainability in alignment with the SDGs. Covering topics such as artificial intelligence (AI), health policy, and robotic process automation, this book is an excellent resource for healthcare practitioners and administrators, researchers, academicians, graduate and postgraduate students, technology and innovation experts, policymakers, government officials, and more.
