Pretty good intro to AI in the first chapters, later on presenting some interesting examples and potentialities of how AI can inform, improve, and reform various aspects of healthcare management and service provision. Not too groundbreaking and also at times a bit smug.

This book explains briefly how the artificial intelligence can be helpful in medicine and what are some of the technologies that look promising for the future. It has a lot of links to the resources so you can learn more. I recommend it to people who are interested in new technologies about medicine.
