Concept:

Welcome to the next event from the Health Talks series – health, life sciences and entrepreneurship talks organized by Aalto University, Health Design, Kuopio Health, OuluHealth, Terkko Health Hub and Upgraded – Health Startup Association of Finland.

What:

Artificial intelligence-based applications can bring a number of benefits to the health sector: they can streamline processes, speed up clinical decision-making, lighten staff workloads, and bring efficiency and accuracy to diagnosis. But what ethical issues do we run into when a machine replaces a human? When artificial intelligence is included in decision-making, we need to ensure that decision-making is transparent and that it is clear to people when they are dealing with artificial intelligence instead of another person. Another perspective considers, how can we measure the effectiveness of artificial intelligence-based applications and the benefits of artificial intelligence?

During the webinar, we will look at artificial intelligence-based solutions from three different perspectives:
1. Artificial intelligence applications in healthcare
2. An ethical perspective on artificial intelligence-based applications
3. Effectiveness assessment of AI-based solutionsHow:
