AI in Healthcare
|
Summary
The Health Foundation in the U.K. has suggested a comprehensive strategy to maximize the benefits and mitigate the risks of AI in healthcare. They propose six key priorities: engaging the public, patients, and healthcare staff in AI's development; focusing AI efforts on critical NHS needs; enhancing data and digital infrastructure; ensuring rigorous testing and evaluation of AI technologies; establishing clear regulatory guidelines; and equipping the healthcare workforce with necessary AI skills. These priorities aim to address the urgent demand for healthcare services and workforce shortages, ensuring AI's advantages are realized broadly rather than in isolated pockets.
