AI is at the heart of the next wave of healthcare transformation, promising to improve quality, access, and equity. In her new book Dimensions of Intelligent Analytics for Smart Digital Health Solutions, Professor Nilmini Wickramasinghe explores the intersection of intelligent analytics, digital health, and smart healthcare solutions.
The book addresses the growing role of intelligent analytics in shaping healthcare practices and improving outcomes. Wickramasinghe emphasizes that successful digital health solutions must account for ethical, technical, and organizational considerations. She also highlights that healthcare innovations must be accessible and equitable, not just technologically advanced.
Wickramasinghe introduces dimensions of intelligent analytics that can guide healthcare systems in adopting smart digital solutions, including:
Leveraging big data to improve patient care
Ensuring interoperability across healthcare platforms
Maintaining patient privacy and data security
Incorporating AI responsibly in decision-making processes
The book underscores that while digital health has the potential to transform healthcare delivery, its implementation requires thoughtful integration of technology, policy, and human-centered design.
As Wickramasinghe notes, the true promise of intelligent analytics lies in its ability to support clinicians, empower patients, and foster more efficient, inclusive, and resilient healthcare systems.
