Product Description In this original work, Tom Lawry takes readers on a journey of understanding what we learned from fighting a global pandemic and how to apply these learnings to solve healthcare's other big challenges. This book is about empowering clinicians and consumers alike to take control of what is important to them by harnessing the power of AI and the Intelligent Health Revolution to create a sustainable system that focuses on keeping all citizens healthy while caring for them when they are not. Review "Tom Lawry reminds us that the health care industry can shift from glacial to warp speed when it needs to. Given the right tools, we can evolve from health systems to systems of health, baked with Responsible Intelligence to do good while embedded with respect, inclusion, and transparency. Health citizens deserve Tom’s vision to emerge." Jane Sarasohn-Kahn Health Economist Author of Health Citizenship: How a virus opened up hearts and minds "One of the most comprehensive compilations of groundbreaking AI topics that are fundamentally shaping healthcare today. Tom Lawry shines the light on these complex solutions in a simple and consumable manner. 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 Hacking Healthcare, Tom astutely educates us on the myriad of nuances of AI in healthcare with his unique perspective as National Director of AI for Health and Life Sciences at Microsoft. I applaud Tom for this outstanding work as a clarion call for all of us to take part in this "intelligent health revolution". As we face the inevitable possibility of a shorter lifespan for our population, we owe Tom a debt of gratitude for his timely and insightful book that offers what we all very much need for our next generation: hope." Anthony Chang, MD, MBA, MPH, MS Founder of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIMed) Author of Intelligence-Based Medicine Chief Intelligence and Innovation Officer, Children’s Health of Orange County (CHOC) "This is an exquisitely written one-of-a-kind book. The author masterfully helps bridge the understanding between healthcare administrators and physicians in the complex landscape of healthcare AI" Eric Eskioglu, MD, FAANS Neurosurgeon Executive Vice President - Chief Medical & Scientific Officer Novant Health "Throughout my medical career focused on effective healthcare, (terrestrially and in Space), I have witnessed the glaring need for timely access to relevant information. 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." Aenor J Sawyer, MD, MS Director, UC Space Health Program Co-Director, UCSF Center
