There is strong support for AI among the public, a new UK report notes, as long as the “human element” of healthcare remains intact and the public is kept apprised of key developments.

According to a new survey, three-quarters of clinicians say they think artificial intelligence can facilitate improvements in workflow efficiency and quality assurance in pathology.

The proliferation of healthcare IoT devices has exposed a vulnerable attack surface that can be exploited by cybercriminals determined to steal personally identifiable information and protected health information.

In addition to task-specific advantages, says an MIT AI expert, a digital world is one that is much lighter on the planet and has less impact, whether it's a digital book compared to a paper book, or videoconferencing compared to jet travel.

Still in their infancy, AI-driven platforms could one day disrupt the larger healthcare ecosystem if they succeed in predicting the onset of lifestyle diseases and nudging users to take corrective measures.

As patients increasingly explore intersection between technology and healthcare, some very familiar tech players are trying to figure out the best way to help them.

With machine learning, says one stakeholder, a hospital’s intelligence is no longer simply artificial, but real and widely available too.

Once a topic for futurists, experts anticipate an increasing number of AI innovations to impact healthcare significantly over the next decade.

The initiative, which aims to address AI in consumer health, fitness and wellness technology, will convene for the first time at CTA’s Technology & Standards Spring Forum in May.
