Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare Regulatory and Legal Concerns
Telehealth and Medicine Today, 2021
We are in a stage of transition as artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in healthcare across the world. Transitions offer opportunities compounded with difficulties. It is universally accepted that regulations and the law can never keep up with the exponential growth of technology. This paper discusses liability issues when AI is deployed in healthcare. Ever-changing, futuristic, user friendly, uncomplicated regulatory requirements promoting compliance and adherence are needed. Regulators have to understand that software itself could be a software as a medical device (SaMD). Benefits of AI could be delayed if slow, expensive clinical trials are mandated. Regulations should distinguish between diagnostic errors, malfunction of technology, or errors due to initial use of inaccurate/inappropriate data as training data sets. The sharing of responsibility and accountability when implementation of an AI-based recommendation causes clinical problems is not clear. Legislation is necessary to allow apportionment of damages consequent to malfunction of an AI-enabled system. Product liability is ascribed to defective equipment and medical devices. However, Watson, the AI-enabled supercomputer, is treated as a consulting physician and not categorised as a product. In India, algorithms cannot be patented. There are no specific laws enacted to deal with AI in healthcare. DISHA or the Digital Information Security in Healthcare Act when implemented in India would hopefully cover some issues. Ultimately, the law is interpreted contextually and perceptions could be different among patients, clinicians and the legal system. This communication is to create the necessary awareness among all stakeholders.
Promise and Provisos of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Healthcare
Journal of Healthcare Leadership
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) promise to transform all facets of medicine. Expected changes include more effective clinical triage, enhanced accuracy of diagnostic interpretations, improved therapeutic interventions, augmented workflow algorithms, streamlined data collection and processing, more precise disease prognostication, newer pharmacotherapies, and ameliorated genome interpretation. However, many caveats remain. Reliability of input data, interpretation of output data, data proprietorship, consumer privacy, and liability issues due to potential for data breaches will all have to be addressed. Of equal concern will be decreased human interaction in clinical care, patient satisfaction, affordability, and skepticism regarding cost-benefit. This descriptive literature-based treatise expounds on the promise and provisos associated with the anticipated import of AI and ML into all domains of medicine and healthcare in the very near future.
Artificial Intelligence’s Role in the Healthcare System
New Trends in Sustainable Business and Consumption
Nowadays, because of the development and the evolving technologies, artificial intelligence (AI) changed the way healthcare systems function and altered the interactions between medical practitioners and patients. In this context, AI has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare system and is an opportunity to strengthen the doctor-patient relationship by offering accurate information in a reasonable amount of time. After a brief journey of the evolution of defining artificial intelligence, the article first covers the meaning of AI in the healthcare system through a systematic literature review, classifying the essential roles of AI in this system. It continues with the explained grade of involvement of the European Union in this field and its decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding the uptake and upscale of digital health solutions. Lastly, this article emphasizes the necessity of having a unitary approach across the European Union regarding the AI involvement in the healthcare system by suggesting the implementation of a single European platform for medical appointments to adapt to the digital world and facilitate medicine without borders. This article aims to provide an overview of the AI roles in the healthcare system that have been developed and implemented and are playing a much-needed role in improving healthcare services, quality of medical practice, and patient satisfaction regarding the services. The classification underlines the positive aspects of adapting the current healthcare system to the new era and embraces the challenges. Artificial intelligence's roles lead to a better approach to the patient's attitude once they know the benefits of using and accepting artificial intelligence technologies in the medical field.
