    01 PERSON CENTRICITY

    02 HUMAN OVERSIGHT

    Strengthening professional judgment

    AI technology should be used to support and enhance the expertise of healthcare professionals, not to replace human judgment.

    AI solutions must be designed to empower users, enabling better decision-making and improving overall care delivery.

    03 TRANSPARENCY AND FAIRNESS

    Promoting accuracy, explainability and equity

    Rigorous testing and validation to maintain clinical accuracy and reliability is crucial for any technology that impacts care outcomes. It’s also important to provide clear explanations for AI-driven insights to foster trust and understanding for users, for example, referencing source materials.

    Efforts must be made to minimize risk of algorithmic bias, to support fair and equitable treatment for patients.

    05 CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

    Evolving with user feedback and market needs

    To deliver true value from AI technology, user feedback must be a fundamental tenet to ensure the technology evolves in a way that aligns with user needs.

    A commitment to ongoing development and improvement is essential, ensuring AI solutions adapt to changing market needs and continue to provide meaningful results.
