Summary of the Project:
The use of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered clinical tools is increasing, but evidence on their impact on patients' long term health and cost of care remains limited. As the number of AI devices grows, lawmakers and regulators face industry pressure to ease the reimbursement process, while companies seek to increase adoption of their tools. This reporting series will examine the implications of clinical AI on patient care and the affordability of health care, informing the adoption of AI across the health care system.
