Regulation catches up \u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a great example, but let’s start from a bit earlier. In one of our studies, we found that as early as 1996 there already was a patent, for an approved medical technology that used AI. Sure, development got much faster in the past few years, and the number of AI technologies and patents has exploded since 2015. While in 2015, the FDA was already regulating AI-based medical technologies, the first comprehensive study on this only came out in 2018 from the regulatory body. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In 2020, we found ourselves inadvertently stepping into the shoes of the FDA, compiling data on \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.nature.com\u002Farticles\u002Fs41746-020-00324-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exactly how many AI-based technologies have been approved\u003C\u002Fa> and their respective specialties. Just one year later, in 2021, the FDA released their own database, citing us as a source. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In just a few short years, we transitioned from the rudimentary regulation of AI-based medical technologies to establishing a dedicated system for them, along with a database to check which AI technologies are approved for medical use. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>That is why I say that regulation eventually catches up. However, we have to note that not just any country’s regulation does so, and we best keep our eyes on the FDA, which serves as a benchmark in this aspect. Based on these maturing regulatory processes, I remain optimistic that \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fwhats-next-for-ai-in-healthcare-in-2023\" target=\"_blank\">AI will find its place\u003C\u002Fa> in everyday life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Not because we are sicker, but because we can provide better care, and can better look after people with chronic diseases in the long term, so this gap between the doctors we train and the patients waiting for care is only getting wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_355-768x432.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49639\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_355-768x432.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_355-370x208.png 370w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_355-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_355-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F02\u002Ftmf_article_355.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This is a good reason to be optimistic about AI. We must fill this gap; we cannot leave people without care. If there aren’t enough human resources to provide care, we need to find alternative methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Technologies like new sensors or 3D printing will not solve this problem, but automation does provide an interim means of care until patients can consult with healthcare professionals in person. In mental health, there are already initiatives where a chatbot keeps the patient company while they wait to see a doctor, and tries to provide some empathy. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>And there is an upside to it: by the time the patient gets to the doctor, the AI has already compiled a report about them, making the in-person visit more efficient. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Virtual care is rising\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>During COVID, tens of millions of people realized that either they’re okay with remote care or they have to settle with no care. This field is \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fhbr.org\u002F2022\u002F05\u002Fthe-telehealth-era-is-just-beginning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">still booming\u003C\u002Fa> even \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pwc.com.au\u002Fhealth\u002Fvirtual-health\u002Ffuture-of-hybrid-healthcare-in-australia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">after the pandemic\u003C\u002Fa>. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>This is good news for all AI-supporter researchers because efficient virtual care can be provided if something is analysing the data, if something can write down what the patient is saying, understand it, and draw conclusions from it. Not to provide remote care instead of a doctor, but to support the doctor in remote care. Thus the advancement of virtual care promotes the implementation of AI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Scientific understanding is achievable\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>AI is an incredibly complex technology. Even at the current level of AI development – artificial narrow intelligence (ANI) – it remains challenging for even its developers to fully understand. However, a sufficient level of scientific understanding can indeed be achieved, and that’s all that most healthcare stakeholders need in order to use the technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>My favourite example is the MRI machine. We all learn about it in the first year of medical school, but nine out of ten doctors have no clue how such a machine works. Sure, they might say that the particle spins are aligned this way or that – but they actually have no idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But of course, we have enough scientific understanding of the technology to send a patient for an MRI scan without fearing that something terrible will happen to them. We understand in broad terms how it works, that it’s not dangerous, when and how it’s useful, even though we can’t describe its operation in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The same level of scientific understanding is needed regarding AI, and it can be achieved. After all, we also released \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.nature.com\u002Farticles\u002Fs41746-020-00333-z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a minimal package \u003C\u002Fa>in one of our studies, in fact, we even \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.thinkific.com\u002Fcourses\u002Fintroduction-to-artificial-intelligence-in-medicine-and-healthcare\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">conducted a course\u003C\u002Fa> because we claim that a minimal level of knowledge can be conveyed. A basic understanding, which is enough for everyone to understand, and at least not to fear the technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Evidence is growing\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The evidence behind medical AI technologies is steadily growing. There are more and more AI technologies that are validated by studies and clinical trials, just as all drugs must be validated through studies, peer-reviewed studies, and clinical trials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F04\u002Ftmf_article_357-768x432.png\" alt=\"TMF, medical student, AI, doctor, data, computer\" class=\"wp-image-50547\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F04\u002Ftmf_article_357-768x432.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F04\u002Ftmf_article_357-370x208.png 370w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F04\u002Ftmf_article_357-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F04\u002Ftmf_article_357-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2023\u002F04\u002Ftmf_article_357.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>We are seeing a similar trend with AI technologies, for example, a good example is \u003Ca rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fdihi.org\u002Fproject\u002Fsepsiswatch\u002F\" target=\"_blank\">sepsis watch\u003C\u002Fa>.
