Watch The Evolution Of AI In Healthcare – This And More News In Digital Health This Week
Bertalan Meskó, MD, PhD
The Medical Futurist, Author of Your Map to the Future, Global Keynote Speaker, and Futurist Researcher
Everyone is preparing for the winter break and hopefully, some of you will already read my new book, Your Map to the Future, in which I make science-based futures methods widely accessible and easy-to-learn. The first reviews are in, and I cannot wait to read yours!
In a recent poll, I asked which industry healthcare should learn the most from to implement AI effectively. The answer with the highest number of votes was finance. It's a tricky domain, but we might learn a few things from that industry too. We will analyze use cases early next year.
I hope you will find the newsletter useful!

Just a decade ago, AI-powered medical devices approved by regulators were a novelty. But in recent years, they've gained significant momentum. The FDA has been closely monitoring this trend and the number of FDA-approved AI-based devices has surged from 650 to 950 in just one year.
To visualize this rapid growth, we've created a short video highlighting the dynamic increase in device approvals over the past ten years focusing on every approval in the top medical specialties.
