AI risk frameworks are useful. But can healthcare innovators actually use them?
Our new paper turns AI risk frameworks into practical, co-designed worksheets to support lifecycle risk management and regulatory evidence: doi.org/10.1136/bmjinnov-202…

Our paper examining China’s DRG reform through a value-based healthcare lens using data from 90K patients show that payment reform alone is insufficient. Improving value requires routine measurement of patient outcomes, stronger risk adjustment & disease-specific implementation.👇

In a new JMIR Human Factors study from @RCSI_Irl, researchers co-designed “Wellby” with students and found something clear:
- Wearables doubled engagement
- Students preferred self-tracking over advice
- Co-design = stronger alignment + uptake

We've seen an increase in cases of #mpox over recent months, but levels remain much lower than during the 2022 outbreak.
If you're eligible, the mpox vaccine is available routinely along with other vaccines such as 4CMenB for gonorrhoea , HepA, HepB and HPV.

How does the public view #HealthAI?
Our study with @kopka_sci involving >1.4K UK adults showed that trust is high for AI with human oversight but low for autonomous AI. People want disclosure, accountability & stronger governance. #SaMD #AIethics

Amelia is developing a PhD proposal which is about how STI testing happens when someone has an abortion and is searching for people who’ve had this experience to talk to about her research plans. Please email her [email protected] for more information!
