We want AI that does no harm. We want AI that is likely to give you benefits with minimal risks. -Dr John D. Halamka, President, Mayo Clinic
He highlighted that using traditional social determinants of health and commercial algorithms can lead to skewed results, which could put patients at risk. "We infer based on where you live - what is your exposure to toxins in the environment and crime? What opportunities do you have for primary care, colonoscopy screening and the like?" explained Halamka.
An insight report from the World Economic Forum's Digital Healthcare Transformation Initiative has identified the potential for digital, data and AI to tackle three of the most pressing healthcare challenges: the increasing burden of chronic illnesses, inequitable patient outcomes and healthcare access worldwide, and resource constraints.
The Mayo Clinic has been an early adopter of AI, and at the Forum's Sustainable Development Impact Meetings this year, its president, Dr John Halamka, highlighted the clinic's experiences with the technology.
