In these 5 years, weโ€™ve diagnosed over 900 cancers, received fantastic patient satisfaction, and helped patients achieve a fast and streamlined diagnosis to 1000s of others including those with serious non-malignant diagnoses

๐ŸคณSocial media as a platform to target health inequity
๐ŸคณFoster innovation diversity for better outcomes and system-level change
๐ŸคณCo-production with patients and lived experience input is vital
๐ŸคณUse AI to enhance, not replace, human interaction in diagnosis and management

20.11.2024 20:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 6    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

๐ŸคณTrust is a cornerstone of health data sharingโ€”to be considered a social determinant of health
๐ŸคณAI should aim to make care more effective and effiecent as the main outcome
๐ŸคณThere are 270,000 digital health apps available, we need to bring these together into holistic health platforms

20.11.2024 20:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

๐ŸคณData inequities: digital health systems risk further widening health inequity taking assumptions from poor quality data; is AI = โ€œAutomating Inequityโ€
๐ŸคณDigital exclusion: those earning <ยฃ20k are least likely to have access to smartphones, excluding these from innovation and data collection

20.11.2024 20:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

๐ŸคณEarly-phase discovery is keyโ€”ask questions, donโ€™t go in with answers
๐ŸคณFocus on riskiest assumptions
๐ŸคณStart with the digitally excluded as the foundation for innovation
AI is a tool for better care, but human connection remains critical

20.11.2024 20:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Key takeaways:
๐ŸคณClinical leadership and user coproduction is essential for AI integration in healthcare
๐ŸคณOutcomes should prioritise what matters most to patients (e.g., intimacy, mobility)
๐ŸคณInvolve the whole system to avoid pressure effects elsewhere (e.g., social care)

Heading home from a fantastic two days at Future Health at BMJ Future Health #BMJFH conference ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ
Itโ€™s been a great opportunity to network and explore AI's potential in healthcare

But how can we develop these technologies without exacerbating health inequities?
