Generative AI in Healthcare: Hype or Hope? Last week, I had the pleasure of joining Kerman Jasavala, Dr Annabelle Painter, Michael Conway and Dr Lia Ali (Ashlin) for a discussion on the transformative role of Generative AI in healthcare, exploring its potential and challenges. Key Discussion Points: 🟣 Understanding Generative AI: We defined Generative AI and its core technologies, such as transformers and foundation models. A primer on these is here > https://lnkd.in/d32qV-SU 🟣 Potential in Healthcare: Generative AI has significant promise: In clinical use cases like patient triage, diagnosis and decision support, Gen AI is likely to have greater impact in the future. Current applications are more likely in non-clinical areas like productivity and administrative efficiency, where risks are lower and benefits realised more quickly. 🟣 Application Across Functions: Generative AI can improve operational workflows and automate administrative tasks in “middle” and “back office” functions, freeing healthcare providers to focus on patient care. An example is IBM’s initiative to reduce missed outpatient appointments and streamline patient waitlists. More information can be found here > https://lnkd.in/dHDrjPVu 🟣 Harnessing Real-World Evidence: Innovative research methods are necessary to assess AI technologies effectively, moving beyond traditional approaches to more robust design research methodologies. 🟣 Demonstrating Value: Proving Generative AI's value through tangible health economic outcomes and clinical benefits is crucial for its broader adoption. 🟣 Lessons from Other Regulated Industries: Other regulated sectors provide valuable insights that can help shape the deployment of Generative AI in healthcare. Additionally, some universal applications, like talent management and IT modernization, are transferable across industries. 🟣 Navigating Risks: Challenges like AI biases, model hallucinations and ethical concerns require stringent clinical risk management, data stewardship and governance. Multi-disciplinary collaboration is essential in building trust and understanding the limitations of AI. 🟣 Governance and Regulation: The rapid development of AI technology poses challenges for governance and regulation, necessitating a risk-based framework for oversight, as suggested by the EU AI Act. 🟣 Workforce Impact and Skills Development: The profound impact of AI on the healthcare workforce underscores the need for upskilling and clinician involvement in AI development to ensure they understand its capabilities and limitations fully and can influence to its evolution. In conclusion, while Generative AI offers significant opportunities for healthcare, a balanced approach is necessary to maximize its benefits safely and effectively. There is hype, but the hope for its positive impact is strong. #generativeai #healthcare

A few takeaways/reflections from this week: 1- It's important to remain agile and to be able to communicate in the same language across all sectors and disciplines. UKHSA Insight Day organised by clinical fellow Maria Nasim 2-Inclusion is far more than just skin colour and the diversity of ethnicities. In simple terms, its about you and the WHOLE you. Free of stigma, free of disparity, free of isolation. I look forward to seeing how digital healthcare evolves to extend across all of core20PLUS5. Digital Healthcare Show 2024 3- Depending on our situations and cirumstances, we'll often drift between the 5Ps: pilot, participant, passenger, protester and prisoner. Where are you now and what can you do to be a participant or even the pilot? Care Quality Commission Operations Conference 2024
