Artificial Intelligence and its Governance in Healthcare
This course introduces you to the origins and evolving applications of AI in healthcare.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping healthcare, from diagnostics and clinical decision-making to patient safety and governance. This course introduces you to the origins and evolving applications of AI in healthcare, giving you a clear understanding of how it’s transforming patient care.
You’ll explore key concepts such as approval processes for AI technologies, credentialing of AI-driven procedures, patient consent, privacy and data management, reporting of adverse events, and the compliance frameworks that underpin safe and ethical adoption of AI in healthcare.
