Experience in AI and Deep-Tech Business Models in Healthcare

Healthcare faces compounding pressure—rising costs, demographic shifts, and workforce shortages—while AI and DeepTech open a parallel path: higher accuracy, faster decisions, and safer care at lower total cost. The real opportunity is not only clinical; it is commercial—service models that turn algorithms, data, and robotics into scalable, pay-as-you-go infrastructure for providers.

Pre-order the book

AI helps to create individually tailored treatment suggestions and medication plans.

AI is moving from point solutions to operating substrate: deep-learning diagnostics rival expert performance, surgical robotics compress risk and length of stay, and multimodal data makes personalization routine rather than exceptional. Business models follow suit—diagnostics “as a service” via pay-per-use, continuously updated treatment guidance via subscriptions, and robotics delivered as RaaS—so hospitals can adopt capabilities without large upfront capital. The result is a shift from episodic procurement to ongoing value creation tied to clinical outcomes and utilization.
