Science and technology in healthcare has advanced rapidly including the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The use of AI is now a growing trend in healthcare delivery under different branding such as “Smart Health”, “Smart Hospital”, “E-health”, “Digital Health” etc. AI applications can be very board and not only restricted to diagnosis and monitoring in patient care, but also used for system management in healthcare setting. AI has the potential in precision medicine and advanced patient self-management too.

Emerging healthcare technology will bring benefits to mankind but could also result in adverse outcomes if not managed well, like using a new drug or new diagnostic test. Ethical issues such as governance and regulation, data protection, as well as medico-legal issues such as liability and consent need to be well addressed. How would we balance the risks and benefits while managing the potential ethical and medico-legal issues?

This webinar will bring in experts experienced in healthcare law and ethics to discuss the regulation and governance of AI in healthcare, clinical liability of medical and health professionals in using AI in healthcare delivery, and use of AI in clinical reasoning.
