Conclusions
Successful integration of AI into health systems relies on digitised and ana-
lysed data collected in an AI-related database. It is in healthcare that the adop-
tion of digital innovation is at its lowest level compared to other sectors. It will
be necessary to move beyond the capture of paper-based patient data, which
limits the effectiveness of treatment in several respects: information analysis,
productivity and the efficient use of resources to carry out higher-value tasks.
Data digitalisation will make it possible to use these resources more efficient-
ly and to gain deeper insights into patients’ health and care. Only once digiti-
sation has been implemented will it be possible to carry out the processes that
are the domain of AI. Interoperability will need to be established in health- 83
care systems to enable the exchange, integration and retrieval of health infor-
mation. This does not allow unhindered access to patient data, but rather pa-
tient-centred treatment, which will reduce inefficient healthcare services and
thus the cost of treatment. Older people should also be involved in the formu-
lation of recommendations for the future development of AI technologies in
the context of ensuring human rights. The need to empower them through ac-
cess to information and communication technology and digital literacy will
need to be highlighted, as will the need to ensure the safe use of AI in law and
in technology.
Artificial intelligence will remain and go beyond its current stage of de-
velopment: in the future, AI tools will be refined and improved as software and the use of artificial intelligence in the field of health for working-age adults and older adults
the databases it uses evolve. Humans will be able to reach beyond their limita-
tions; they will work hand in hand with new tools to find solutions to – so far
- unsolvable problems; and they will contribute, together with AI, to the ad-
vancement of humanity. In the future, AI will surely evolve into a so-called su-
per-intelligence, which, according to researcher Gams, will help us to “live long
and well as a human technological civilisation”.
