In future, an early warning system based on AI methods will provide information about impending shortages of active ingredients and medicines so that countermeasures can be initiated in time. As a learning system, it analyses patterns of past bottlenecks and applies them to current data such as stock levels or drug invoices. In addition, global, cross-sectoral indicators will be included. Detailed information on this can also be found in the Supply Situation Report 2023 of Techniker Krankenkasse, chapter 4.
