Building Better Guardrails for Algorithmic Medicine – Duke AI Health

January 5, 2024

AI tools in healthcare, offering diagnoses, risk predictions, and decision support, are increasing yet lack regulation and oversight. Concerns include black box systems not performing as expected, possibly compromising quality and safety, and promoting inequities. Design decisions and training data affect an AI system's performance, making validation and ongoing assessment vital. Duke University has set up an oversight system for AI tools, and is part of the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), working on creating guidelines for health AI systems to ensure trust, fairness, and transparency. The guidelines aim to monitor and assess the performance of AI systems throughout their lifecycle.

January 5, 2024

GAO advises FDA, CISA to update agreement reflecting organizational changes to address medical device cybersecurity. FDA, CISA should enhance roles clarity in cybersecurity strategy. The outdated agreement doesn't cover all collaboration practices. Cyber threats to medical devices could delay patient care, expose sensitive data, disrupt healthcare operations and require costly recovery. FDA ensures safety and effectiveness of medical devices sold in U.S. The report addresses non-federal entities accessing federal support, federal agencies facing challenges, coordination of key agencies, and limits in agencies' authority over medical device cybersecurity. The report cites vulnerabilities in medical devices leading to cyber incidents. Last month, GAO identified need for full implementation of incident response requirements among federal agencies.

Tips to manage safe pixel tracking

January 3, 2024

Healthcare organizations need to ensure safe pixel tracking practices comply with privacy laws. Online tracking tools like pixels can generate healthcare policy debates. There's criticism of Health and Human Services Office guidance limiting use of pixels on websites, apps by HIPAA-covered entities. Advocate Aurora Health paid $12.2 million over pixel-related data breach. Pixels are used in ads, capturing data points like IP addresses, browser types. Compared to cookies, pixels are more difficult to disable. Concern arises when health data acquired by pixels are shared with third-party tracking-technology companies. FTC regulates health apps, non-HIPAA firms in response to sensitive data exposure. Serious consequences, including lawsuits and FTC actions, possible.
