Digital Health Policy and Cybersecurity Regulations Regarding Artificial Intelligence (AI) Implementation in Healthcare

Abstract

The landscape of healthcare is rapidly changing with the increasing usage of machine and deep learning artificial intelligence and digital tools to assist in various sectors. This study aims to analyze the feasibility of the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) models into healthcare systems. This review included English-language publications from databases such as SCOPUS, PubMed, and Google Scholar between 2000 and 2024. AI integration in healthcare systems will assist in large-scale dataset analysis, access to healthcare information, surgery data and simulation, and clinical decision-making in addition to many other healthcare services. However, with the reliance on AI, issues regarding medical liability, cybersecurity, and health disparities can form. This necessitates updates and transparency on health policy, AI training, and cybersecurity measures. To support the implementation of AI in healthcare, transparency regarding AI algorithm training and analytical approaches is key to allowing physicians to trust and make informed decisions about the applicability of AI results. Transparency will also allow healthcare systems to adapt appropriately, provide AI services, and create viable security measures. Furthermore, the increased diversity of data used in AI algorithm training will allow for greater generalizability of AI solutions in patient care. With the growth of AI usage and interaction with patient data, security measures and safeguards, such as system monitoring and cybersecurity training, should take precedence. Stricter digital policy and data protection guidelines will add additional layers of security for patient data. This collaboration will further bolster security measures amongst different regions and healthcare systems in addition to providing more means to innovative care. With the growing digitization of healthcare, advancing cybersecurity will allow effective and safe implementation of AI and other digital systems into healthcare and can improve the safety of patients and their personal health information.
