Deloitte study: "Care finances under pressure": Billions potential through AI and robotics in care

A study by Deloitte predicts that annual care costs in Germany could almost triple by 2050, reaching €305 billion, up from €110 billion currently. The study suggests that the use of artificial intelligence, robotics, and better prevention could reduce expected costs by 25%, or around €76 billion per year. However, even with these technologies, care costs would still be around €229 billion in 2050.

Deloitte presents three scenarios for potential savings, but notes that even with significant reductions, care finances are unlikely to be stabilized permanently.
