Artificial Intelligence: The Reinvention of Healthcare

Modern medicine possesses more knowledge than at any point in human history. Yet healthcare systems worldwide consistently fail to deliver that knowledge to the patients who need it. Why?
In Artificial Intelligence: The Reinvention of Healthcare, Boris Kriger argues that medicine’s fundamental problem is not insufficient knowledge but structural discontinuity-the systematic breakdown of information flow from symptom to diagnosis, from prescription to treatment, from intervention to outcome. Human cognitive limitations make this discontinuity inevitable at the scale and complexity that contemporary healthcare demands.
Drawing on the Clinical Continuity Principle and evidence from healthcare systems worldwide, Kriger presents a balanced assessment of AI’s potential and limitations. He confronts the real risks-algorithmic bias, opacity, implementation failures-while demonstrating why thoughtful AI integration represents healthcare’s best path forward.
The transformation is already underway. AI diagnostic systems operate in hospitals across the globe. Health kiosks in metro stations provide round-the-clock care. Virtual hospitals process thousands of cases. The question is not whether AI will reshape healthcare but how wisely that reshaping will be guided.
For anyone seeking to understand the future of medicine-patients, physicians, policymakers, or concerned citizens-this book provides essential perspective on the most significant transformation healthcare has faced since the advent of modern medicine itself.
