AI in Healthcare: Prevention Opportunities, Need for Regulatory Oversight

AI in Healthcare: Prevention Opportunities, Need for Regulatory Oversight
—————————————-
Artificial intelligence could help shift healthcare systems from treatment-focused approaches toward prevention by analyzing medical data and identifying people at risk of developing diseases at an early stage.

However, realizing this potential requires appropriate healthcare funding models, rigorous safety assessments, and effective regulatory oversight.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has examined issues surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in its European Region, including regulation, legal responsibility, health data governance, and public trust. These issues are central to developing policies that support the safe and responsible integration of AI into healthcare systems.
