Adopting AI in healthcare services
Researchers say that artificial intelligence (AI) can provide major improvements in patient care - even revolutionising diagnosis, prevention and treatment. New solutions are being developed for e.g. segmentation of CT images, robot assisted care, sensor technology, and decision support. These novel innovations require a multi-agency coordination. In the video, Project Leader Siv Fjellkårstad, from The Norwegian Directorate of Health, talks about the initiative “National coordination for adoption of AI in the healthcare service”.
Norwegian Centre for E-health Research
Broad and sustainable use of artificial intelligence
New articial intelligences (AI) are being developed but few have been adopted by Norwegian health care services. Researchers have examined which barriers lie along the implementation path. They suggest a framework for planning, developing and maintaining AI solutions. Read the report about implementing artificial intelligence here.
