Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare

Summary of the article for MEDIACC website:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionising healthcare: It optimises medical processes, supports doctors with diagnostics and therapy, and relieves administrative tasks by automating administrative tasks. A thesis paper from the Federal Medical Association (BAEK) underlines the potential of AI, but at the same time emphasises that medical expertise and final decisions remain irreplaceable. In order to effectively integrate AI into care, BAEK is calling for an adjustment of medical education — with a focus on digital skills, ethical-legal aspects and critical evaluation of AI tools. It is also crucial to use AI solutions specifically where they close supply deficiencies, for example through evidence-based prioritization.

As a specialist in clinical studies, MEDIACC welcomes BAEK's call for evidence-based validation of AI systems. Our core competence lies in demonstrating the medical benefits and supply effects of innovative technologies through rigorous studies. In AI applications in particular, clinical trials are essential to prove safety, effectiveness and suitability for practice — whether in diagnostic algorithms, treatment planning or patient monitoring. This is the only way to sustainably integrate AI tools into everyday clinical practice without undermining medical due diligence. MediaCC supports medical professionals and manufacturers in developing and testing AI solutions specifically for real care problems. Through our work, we are helping to ensure that AI is not only used innovatively, but also in a patient-oriented and compliant manner — always with the aim of increasing the quality of treatment and freeing up resources for human attention.
