Certain foundations need to be in place and there needs to be proactive change management for successful AI deployment. Prof David Lowe, clinical director for health innovation with the Scottish government, illustrates this with current use cases.
The IT leader discusses some of the innovative generative AI projects being piloted at the Boston health system and offers thoughts on how artificial intelligence should be regulated in healthcare – with guardrails around safety, efficacy and ethics.
"We can identify things earlier compared to when a human would see it," said Gil Margolin, CTP with Talkspace, which uses linguistic regression to analyze de-identified behavioral health messages and alert providers to patients at risk for self-harm.
