Navigating the Commercialisation of AI in Healthcare

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing into healthcare, with unbridled potential to improve patient care outcomes and optimise healthcare systems.

While this promises a brighter future for healthcare, ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks governing AI use in healthcare have yet to catch up with the technology. From the stages of innovation to implementation, the ethical and legal considerations surrounding the use of AI in healthcare have been a great source of contention, resulting in significant barriers to entry.

In the process of innovating AI to aid the care process, be it in terms of diagnosis or treatment, concerns have been raised about the measures that need to be put in place to prevent data breaches and protect patient confidentiality. And further downstream, clinicians are worried about the accountability and transparency of the decision-making process of AI systems, which may impede the trust they can place in implementing such technologies in their daily practice.

In this session, our speakers will discuss the ethical and legal challenges of responsibly innovating and deploying AI in healthcare. They will also share insights into the steps that can be taken to establish ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks and explore potential interdisciplinary approaches for navigating the commercialisation of AI in healthcare.
