AI Revolution in Healthcare: Bridging Innovation with Expertise

Healthcare innovators are urged to collaborate with medical professionals in AI solutions, focusing on regulatory compliance for integration into health systems. Experts stress the ethical deployment of AI in healthcare for improved patient outcomes, underlining the need for responsible and human-centered technological advancements.

During the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi, Dr VK Paul, a member of Niti Aayog, emphasized the necessity for collaboration between healthcare innovators and medical experts in developing AI solutions. He highlighted the importance of aligning innovations with regulatory frameworks to facilitate their adoption into the healthcare system.

Paul underscored that genuine healthcare innovation requires cooperative efforts with clinicians and researchers. He pointed out that the aim is to create a culture of responsible AI use, rather than pursuing isolated advancements without oversight. Validated AI tools, once presented, should be assessed and integrated as public resources.

The Netherlands' Counsellor for Health, Nico Schiettekatte, and Dr Harsh Mahajan, a radiologist, also advocated for ethical AI application, stressing its role in solving real-world issues. They warned against unsupervised use of AI in personal health matters, stressing it should enhance patient care under professional guidance.
