Geneva, Monday, 7 July 2025.
Capgemini and the World Economic Forum have launched a partnership to transform healthcare through AI and digital platforms, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and address systemic challenges globally.

The Scope and Ambitions of the Initiative

The partnership between Capgemini and the World Economic Forum marks a significant milestone in the healthcare landscape by aiming to leverage artificial intelligence and digital platforms for transformative impact. This initiative, known as the Digital Healthcare Transformation (DHT) Initiative, focuses on enhancing healthcare delivery systems worldwide. By employing cutting-edge technologies, it seeks to resolve pressing global health challenges such as improving patient outcomes, accessibility, and efficiency across healthcare systems. This strategic collaboration underscores the necessity for integrating innovative technology with healthcare practices to meet the evolving demands of the sector [1].

Strategic Partnerships and Collaborative Efforts

The DHT Initiative brings together over 150 organizations spanning various sectors, including medtech, pharmaceuticals, academia, government entities, and healthcare providers. This extensive coalition exemplifies a concerted effort to foster public-private partnerships aimed at unlocking the potential of health data. By doing so, the initiative not only aims to address immediate healthcare challenges but also to cultivate long-term systemic improvements. The collaboration signifies a commitment to ‘intelligent collaboration,’ where the fusion of AI and R&D, alongside design and data development, becomes critical in delivering value to all stakeholders [1][2].

AI’s Role in Transforming Healthcare

Artificial intelligence is positioned as a pivotal force within the Digital Healthcare Transformation Initiative. AI’s ability to support faster diagnoses, personalize treatments, and tackle accessibility issues stands at the forefront of this transformation. Capgemini, with its robust AI expertise, aims to integrate technologies such as predictive analytics and AI-powered tools that facilitate early disease detection and improve overall patient management [3]. Moreover, these technologies are not limited to improving diagnostics but also enhance clinical decision-making through optimized practices like drug discovery and tailored patient care [3][4].

Long-term Impact and Transformation

The long-term vision of the DHT Initiative is to reshape global healthcare systems, transitioning towards more efficient, patient-centered models. Future-focused strategies include leveraging the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) alongside AI to create secure, adaptive healthcare ecosystems. The collaboration between AI and healthcare aims to address the systemic inefficiencies currently present and propose scalable solutions that can be adapted across diverse healthcare environments. This initiative reflects a broader trend toward digitization in healthcare, recognizing the importance of strategic alliances in driving sustainable improvements in service delivery [4][5].
