"An algorithm predicting a patient's death – that's just one potential use of AI in healthcare, and it raises some serious ethical questions. How do doctors use this kind of information? Should we treat it as absolute truth? Overall, the ethics of AI in healthcare is a crucial topic," says Olivia Blanchard, a startup founder in the healthcare sector and founder of the consulting firm Alizé Advisory.

In an interview for the ITAPA podcast, Olivia Blanchard pointed to the example of an algorithm used at Stanford Hospital that predicted patient deaths, and she raised questions about the ethical implications of such technologies.

Olivia Blanchard also shared her insights on the potential of Central Europe and innovations in healthcare. Blanchard also touched on the topic of data-driven healthcare.

Current topics in healthcare will also be addressed at the ITAPA Health & Care conference on March 26th and 27th in Horný Smokovec. This two-day event will create space for critical discussion and showcase key players in the healthcare sector. Register at itapa.sk.
