Opportunities And Challenges For AI In Healthcare

Last month, Fieldfisher's Digital Health team hosted an event considering the drivers and challenges for AI in healthcare. There was evident consensus amongst attendees that AI has the potential to be the most transformative technology of our generation, particularly in the area of healthcare.

We're hugely grateful to our guest speakers for their insights, and we wanted to share some of the key observations that were raised in the presentations and the panel session. In a rare break from tradition, we will not be discussing legal risk in this article.

Opportunities

We, like our speakers, are seeing huge enthusiasm for AI right now across all sectors. When it comes to the UK healthcare sector, the challenge to keep up with increasing demand with limited resources is creating an urgency to find ways to deliver care more efficiently and effectively. We expect AI to provide part of the solution.
