As artificial intelligence (AI) widens its influence across a variety of industries around the world, healthcare is no exception. While feelings are mixed, many patients are expressing their concerns surrounding the use of AI in their continuum of care. Older patients, as well as older physicians, have been more outspoken about their skeptical views of AI compared to their younger counterparts. Their main concerns include accuracy, privacy, transparency, equity, and a reduction in human intuition. Despite these concerns, the industry as a whole remains positive about the future impacts of AI in healthcare as providers and physicians look to educate their patients and reassure them of the benefits, such as improved diagnosis and treatment, efficiency and convenience, and personalization.

We have always valued new technological advances that can aid a patient in their journey to proactive and improved treatment. Whether it’s AI or making EHR data interoperable, we believe education and support are at the heart of valuable change. Quality care should be more easily accessible to patients and we are proud to be a part of developing new technology that supports that journey.
