Driving the Future of Health

Updated | 2 Min Read

Since 2010, there has been over $100 billion of venture funding invested in digital health companies. Yet despite this growth and the desire from patients and physicians for progress to continue, the health care system still struggles to address the ongoing health care challenges of access, quality, outcomes, affordability and equity, even with the introduction of new digital health tools.

A blueprint for digitally enabled care

Through research, the Future of Health blueprint has been developed to address the digital health disconnect and achieve optimized digitally enabled care.

The AMA is committed to continuing to develop resources and insights, advocate for policy changes that support the future of health and bring diverse perspectives across the industry to the table to keep building on this work.

AI in medical education

AI  is playing an increasingly important role at all stages of the medical education continuum, both as a tool for educators and learners and as a subject of study in and of itself. AI has the potential to transform the educational experience as a part of precision education and transform patient care as a part of precision health.
