Overview

In August 2024, the European Union (EU) made history with the approval of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act—the world’s first legislation specifically aimed at regulating AI applications.This landmark act seeks to protect EU citizens from
potential harms of AI, while maintaining Europe’s global competitiveness. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen marked the occasion as a "historic moment," noting that “the AI Act transposes European values to a new era.” The regulation will take effect in August 2026, bringing significant implications for the healthcare sector. Under the AI Act, any medical device using AI will be classified as “high risk,” just one tier below full prohibition.

How did we arrive at this point? The evolution of AI in healthcare has been shaped by a continuous interplay between advances in ICT and healthcare innovations, combined with the need for cultural and structural shifts to ensure future-ready healthcare systems. Yet, this co-evolution has not been seamless; progress has alternated between breakthroughs and bottlenecks.

This session will guide participants through the key phases of digital health’s evolution, showcasing real-world cases that illuminate the challenges of digital adoption. Finally, we’ll delve into the AI Act, reflecting on whether AI applications will face similar hurdles or if the Act will help us move past these challenges once and for all.

Key topics covered in this exciting talk will include:

  • An introduction to key digital health terms, definitions, and their evolution
  • A look at the four waves of digital health innovation, their origins, and their impact
    on healthcare systems.
  • Real-life examples illustrating the challenges of adopting digital health solutions in healthcare systems, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
  • An overview of the EU’s Coordinated Plan on Artificial Intelligence, the AI Act, and the
    role of Testing and Experimentation Facilities (TEFs) in securing Europe’s competitive edge in a global market shaped by major players like the USA and
    China

This course is part of our range of Medical Devices training courses - now also including Medical Devices Cyber Security training to help improve your data security.
