Abstract

Digitalization is increasingly covering more and more sectors including the healthcare sector. Nowadays, medicine and patient management are becoming progressively digitalized and in order to ensure medical operations and surgeries continually and regularly, more human and financial resources are needed. The transformation of medical records of patients from paper into electronic records, the automated invoice processes, the control of the patient outside the doctor’s office during the care process, etc. are becoming an even greater necessity. Digitalization offers a range of new opportunities in medicine; it is already a reality and an international race for innovation. This study is concerned with the subject of digitalization in medicine. The purpose is to analyze the chances and challenges of digitalization in medicine by examining some different fields in which digitalization can help medicine and hospitals and others it cannot support and to explore, in addition, the different points of view and beliefs of experts from different medical fields in regards of digitalization, the adoption of digital technologies as well as Artificial Intelligence in medicine.
