Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an emerging technology is increasingly applied in the healthcare sector. Moreover, the AI-related progress and technology application is not only driven by traditional companies but even more by the establishment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in healthcare, the innovation process as well as dynamic product development in the very same organizations. We chose a multiple-case study design using expert interviews with 14 SMEs, equally distributed from China and Germany to analyze the adoption of AI in healthcare SMEs. Our results contribute to current empirical research with a cross-national comparison in Germany and China on the status of AI development and adoption, the perceived advantages and challenges of AI, as well as the expected future development and implementation of AI in healthcare in the upcoming five years.
