Harnessing public perception to drive responsible AI in healthcare - Digital Health As healthcare technology evolves, understanding public and staff perceptions of AI is crucial. Research shows that while 54% of the public supports AI in patient care, concerns about diminishing human elements and decision-making accuracy persist. NHS staff are generally more supportive, reflecting their familiarity with healthcare systems. The language used to describe innovations, like virtual wards, significantly impacts public acceptance. Additionally, equitable access remains a challenge, particularly for lower-income groups. To realize AI's potential, we must ensure responsible implementation that prioritizes collaboration, transparency, and inclusivity. #HealthcareIT #AIinHealthcare #DigitalHealth #HealthEquity #PatientCare #Innovation #NHS ai.mediformatica.com #health #healthcare #staff #technology #digital #research #rewired #responsibleai #aiinhealthcare #healthfoundation #nhsstaff #thehealthfoundation #digitalhealth #healthit #healthtech #healthcaretechnology @MediFormatica (https://buff.ly/4hi9Okf)

Unlocking AI's Potential in Healthcare - 6 key strategic priorities The Health Foundation has outlined six strategic priorities to integrate AI in the NHS effectively.

This is really interesting! Workforce shortages and training are 2 key areas where we should be using AI to augment current processes, focusing on time saving and competency based training

Advancements in responsible AI hold transformative potential for addressing disparities in healthcare access. But as we embrace innovation, we must ensure that rural healthcare communities, often at the greatest risk of being underserved, get the attention they deserve. AI tailored to these unique challenges can bridge critical gaps and improve equity in care delivery. #AIinHealthcare #HealthEquity #RuralHealthcare #ResponsibleAI #HealthTech

The annual healthcare predictions are in for 2025, and while healthcare traditionally evolves incrementally, there are some intriguing perspectives on #PatientExperience and #HealthIT. While these forecasts aren’t usually earth-shattering, they do shed light on the incremental changes shaping our field. I contributed some thoughts to this article, perhaps pushing the boundaries of what's realistically achievable in 2025. To mix things up, I used #NotebookLM to create an AI-generated podcast summarizing key insights from all the contributors. Whether you're curious about the future of healthcare or interested in experiencing AI-generated podcast, the 10-minute podcast offers a novel way to consume these insights. It's fascinating to see how easily AI tools can effortlessly transform written content into engaging audio formats. AI-Podcast: https://lnkd.in/gaCPDmZV I’d love to hear your thoughts on these predictions and how #AI could play a role in patient experience and operational improvements in healthcare.

Health and AI 👉 https://lnkd.in/ejwQD-ZE The OECD assembled a time-limited Expert Group on AI for Health to create a forum for exchange and mutual learning and address the challenges of implementing AI at scale in a human-centred, responsible, equitable, and sustainable manner. The strategic use of science and technology can empower people to lead healthy lives and make well-being a reality. AI can automate administrative tasks and free substantial time for healthcare providers to focus on patient care. It can also extend health services to remote or underserved areas, improving healthcare access for millions worldwide living hours away from the nearest healthcare facility. Furthermore, personal AI assistants can enhance health literacy, reduce information asymmetry between healthcare providers and patients, reinforce shared decision-making, and ultimately empower patients.

AI is revolutionizing healthcare in emerging markets, offering scalable, affordable solutions that tackle resource scarcity and accessibility challenges. From early disease detection to personalized treatments, AI-driven innovations like those that we're building at HOPPR are making a real difference. These technologies not only enhance healthcare delivery in remote areas but also support healthcare providers in improving efficiency and sustainability.

What hospital IT will look like in 2035 Here are eight predictions from the report on what will change about hospital and health system IT in the next decade-plus: 1. Artificial intelligence bots will provide patients with improved access to their benefits and better match them with providers. 2. Enhanced data integration in clinical workflows will ease provider burnout from currently cumbersome technology tools. 3. RPM will stand for remote patient "management," not just monitoring, and will include more health data from more compact smart devices that will be processed quicker via advanced computing power. 4. Technology will better identify and match clinical trial participants beyond just academic medical centers. 5. Labor productivity will be enhanced by ChatGPT-like solutions, creating more back office and administrative efficiencies. 6. AI will automate more repetitive tasks for providers, including prior authorizations, care planning, consultations triggered by assessments, and robotic medication administration. 7. More patients will be treated virtually, including for complex conditions, with an increase in devices that allow patients to conduct physical exams themselves, supervised by virtual physicians, with the data being sent to the care team in real time. 8. The Internet of Things will enable better at-home care, with quicker connection to providers through video, phone, email and text, and real-time data uploads, increasing the use of hospital-at-home care. #hospitalit #healthtech #medtech #healthcareai

Thank you, Digital Health, for including us in your 2025 predictions! This year will be an opportunity to take stock of the realistic applications of AI and how those can support the health workforce. We must expand how we measure success with AI applications. We will focus on how such applications can help improve population health outcomes and patient safety. And we will ideally move beyond simple financial returns-on-investment and include a focus on qualitative wins, such as improved health workforce experience, wellbeing, or retention. If AI is simply used to propagate existing systems or processes, we will have massively missed our opportunity to use such capabilities to re-think how clinicians interact with and serve patients.

The future of Healthcare is here, and by the looks of things AI is leading the charge! 🏥🤖 The Health Foundation's latest report explores how AI is transforming the way we deliver care. But for it to reach its full potential, we really need to focus on some key areas—like ensuring fair access, protecting patient safety, and safeguarding data privacy. As AI continues to change diagnostics, treatments, and decision-making, it's crucial that we create a strategy that empowers health care professionals and improves patient outcomes—while keeping the human connection at the heart of it all. #AI #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #PatientCare #AIinHealthcare #HealthTech #FutureOfHealthcare
