EDQM On Air – AI in healthcare – Innovations, ethics and the road ahead, with Eric Sutherland

EDQM On Air, the podcast on public health brought to you by the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) of the Council of Europe, has just released a new episode!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a source of great hope in healthcare. Properly applied, it has the potential to analyse images and data faster and more accurately than human beings. Its ability to perform administrative tasks can also free up medical professionals to dedicate more time to their patients.

But AI comes with certain risks. What data is being used, and from what source? Can AI respect privacy when handling personal health data? Can we really entrust our health to machines? The EDQM’s 60th anniversary conference, held on 11-12 June 2024, featured talks and discussions on a wide range health topics, including from Eric Sutherland, Senior Health Economist at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In this episode, Eric shares his insights into the developing field of AI in healthcare, addressing topics such as digital health, policy guidance and responsible analytics.

The first five episodes of EDQM On Air are already available and others will be released regularly. Tune in for expert insight, engaging discussions and inspiring stories, and discover how the EDQM, together with its stakeholders, is safeguarding public health in more ways than you ever imagined.
