As AI continues to advance and become increasingly integrated into healthcare, it is important to look into the ethical implications of its deployment. While there are enormous opportunities to leverage AI to improve patient outcomes, the role of ethics is key to ensure that the benefits of AI are delivered in safe, transparent, fair and trustworthy ways.
APACMed, in partnership with industry companies (large and small) and legal firm knowledge partner K&L Gates, have come together to produce our considerations about AI and Ethics for MedTech in Asia Pacific. As AI in MedTech evolves, we will continue to work with stakeholders to build trust and ensure that solutions improve patient outcomes and foster responsible innovation.
