Application of artificial intelligence in healthcare
The impact of AI on the ′patient-doctor′ relationship is the focus of a new report by the Council of Europe’s Steering Committee for Human Rights in the fields of Biomedicine and Health (CDBIO).
The Report on the application of AI in healthcare considers the increasing deployment of AI systems in healthcare, and how it becomes ever more important to explore and understand the role of healthcare professionals in respecting the autonomy, and the right to information of the patient in order to maintain transparency and patient trust, as critical components of the therapeutic relationship. To this end, the report focuses on the impact of AI on the ‘patient-doctor’ relationship, with particular regard to autonomy, professional standards, self-determination regarding health data, and equitable access to healthcare, as referred to in the Council of Europe’s Oviedo Convention.
