Health Action International

Health Action International is a brand that aims to address the need for stronger regulation and protection of health and fundamental rights in the field of medical artificial intelligence (AI). They advocate for debunking the common myths surrounding medical AI in order to ensure the well-being of patients and the quality of healthcare. The European Union's AI Act, which is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation, is at the center of their efforts.

Health Action International believes that the existing regulatory framework for medical devices, including the Medical Devices Regulation (MDR), is not sufficient to address the unique risks posed by medical AI. They argue that the AI Act provides broader application, specific provisions for medical AI, and better protection for fundamental rights. They also emphasize the importance of safeguarding patient privacy, addressing discrimination, and ensuring comprehensive protection of fundamental rights.

By debunking these myths, Health Action International aims to promote responsible and effective use of medical AI while prioritizing patient safety and well-being
