New code of conduct for AI and tech in healthcare
Health Minister Lord O’Shaughnessy has announced the initial technology partnerships Code of Conduct for Data-driven Health and Care Technology.
Speaking at the NHS Health and Care Innovation Expo conference, Lord O’Shaughnessy said the code encourage companies to meet a gold-standard set of principles that will protect patient data and make sure only the best technologies are used by the NHS.
The code has 10 principles establishing how the government will make it easier for companies to work with the NHS and what the NHS expects in return, making it easier for suppliers to develop technologies to tackle issues such as dementia, obesity and cancer.
Lord O’Shaughnessy said: “Artificial intelligence and machine learning is a field that is moving at lightning speed and has tremendous potential across the healthcare sector. That is why I am pleased to announce that we have launched our initial technology partnerships Code of Conduct – 10 principles which set out the rules of engagement between industry and the health and care system. These principles provide a basis to deepen the trust between patients, clinicians, researchers and innovators. This is an important first step towards creating a safe and trusted environment in which innovation can flourish to the benefit of all our health.”
