Information-driven healthcare
This strategic initiative supports Swedish healthcare organizations in developing AI solutions. The goal is to offer more information-driven, personalized, and scalable healthcare. It occurs in a close partnership between public, private, and academic healthcare parties.
Vision & how to get there
To meet important challenges in the health area, Vinnova supports five vision-driven innovation milieus. Information-driven healthcare is one of these. The program runs from 2019 to 2024. The vision is that Sweden will offer information-driven, personalized, and scalable healthcare through AI application.
1
Identify barriers and enablers for integration and national implementation of information-driven healthcare
2
Exploring how privacy-preserving AI and data-driven insights can support current healthcare practices
3
Evaluate ethical and legal implications and find pathways to successful implementation of information-driven healthcare
Increasing health data creates opportunities to address the challenges through more information-driven healthcare. The data gives us information and insights that can be leveraged for behavioral changes and patient benefits. By applying AI we can, among other things, get help with:
- Identification of opportunities
- Prioritisation of interventions
- Evidence-based guidelines --> Monitor implementation at a population level
- Prediction of healthcare events of interest
- Prevention, care optimization
Collaboration is key
The core partners collaborate with a regional reference group with representatives from all of the country's 21 regions. As a project partner, you contribute to the AI solutions of the future, at the same time as gaining access to them.
Although we have previously focused on information-driven healthcare in our research, the start-up of the innovation milieu gave us a real boost through increased collaboration and networking with regions and companies in Sweden.

The core project team consists of AI Sweden and:
We also have a network open to AI strategists in all 21 public healthcare regions: the Region Reference Group for Information-Driven Healthcare (Regionreferensgruppen för Informationsdriven Vård). There, you can follow the results of our projects, share experiences from your initiatives, and exchange valuable insights.
New edition of the Handbook for information-driven healthcare and AI
Much has changed since AI Sweden launched the first edition of the "Handbook for information-driven healthcare" in 2021. Now, an updated edition is being released with both revised and newly written chapters. Furthermore, more authors are participating, sharing experiences from their work over the past few years.
Vårdkartan
The Healthcare Map provides a visual overview of AI initiatives in healthcare in Sweden's regions. The aim is to spread knowledge, foster collaboration and share experiences. Explore the map to discover how AI is contributing to the future of healthcare.
The results from the mapping of AI-related healthcare projects across Sweden's regions are compiled in the report: Vårdkartan – En kartläggning av svenska regioners AI-initiativ inom vårdsektorn (available in Swedish).
