Friday Five – 2025 AI in Healthcare Predictions
The integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, and 2025 is set to be a pivotal year for the industry. From early disease detection powered by advanced algorithms to personalized treatment plans driven by predictive analytics, AI is transforming the way care is delivered. As we look ahead, the potential for AI to address longstanding challenges—such as improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, and expanding access to care—is greater than ever. This week’s Friday Five rounds up key predictions from our experts for AI in healthcare in 2025, exploring the innovations and impacts poised to redefine the future of medicine.
How Will AI Improve on Revenue Cycle Management for Healthcare in 2025?
This year our annual predictions will include some topics that look at how AI could help solve the challenges in our healthcare system. We begin with AI in Revenue Cycle Management. When we look at RCM we can identify these areas; patient check-in, insurance verification and pre-authorization, billing and coding, claims, patient payment and collections, to insurance denials.
We asked our experts what we might see in AI innovations for RCM in 2025.

Will AI Help Improve Healthcare Security in 2025?
The healthcare sector is particularly vulnerable to cybersecurity risks and the stakes for patient care and safety are particularly high. Healthcare facilities are attractive targets for cyber criminals in light of their size, technological dependence, sensitive data, and unique vulnerability to disruptions. Strengthening our cybersecurity infrastructure and defending against malicious attacks requires vigilance, vision, and collaboration. Can AI help improve healthcare security? We asked our experts what improvements to security we might see in 2025.
Is It Full Steam Ahead for Clinical AI Applications in 2025?
No one can dispute that AI in healthcare has consumed most all the air in the room this year. The debate is over on will it or won’t it, should we or shouldn’t we, help or hinder? The discussion now is how and where do we use it. Practical application in clinical settings could enhance diagnostic accuracy, personalize treatment plans, optimize workflows, provide real-time insights based on patient data, assist with decision-making, and enable proactive patient monitoring, all while improving patient care and delivering it more efficiently. The train has left the station, is it full steam ahead? We asked our experts what more they think we will see in 2025 and it looks like it will be consuming a lot of the air next year too!

AI in Life Sciences Finds an Early Success and Will Continue in 2025
AI can help life sciences organizations improve efficiencies across the value chain, from research and development to clinical trials to patient engagements. AI has truly become a game-changer for the life sciences industry in recent years. The global artificial intelligence (AI) in life sciences market size was exhibited at USD 2.50 billion in 2023 and is projected to hit around USD 15.45 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 19.98% during the forecast period 2024 to 2033. We asked our experts what more they think we will see in 2025.

Targeting Workforce Issues with AI in 2025
According to the Mercer Future of the US Healthcare Industry, Healthcare Labor Market Projections by 2028, it expects a shortage of about 100,000 critical health care workers by 2028. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projects a shortage of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034.The American Hospital Association estimates that the US will need to hire at least 200,000 nurses a year to meet rising demands. The question is no longer will AI take the professional’s job but how can we use AI to fill the future voids we are predicting. AI-powered automation can enable staff to spend less time on routine administrative work and shift their attention to areas where they add more value, like direct care and patient-facing activities. Are we investing in AI innovation that will help us in our biggest future challenge? We asked our experts what more they think we will see in 2025.
