Microsoft debuts network for responsible AI in healthcare

June 18, 2024

đź’» During HIMSS 24, Microsoft debuted the Trustworthy and Responsible AI Network, or TRAIN, a network that aims to operationalize responsible AI principles to improve the quality, safety and reliability of AI in healthcare.

A new consortium of health organizations is behind TRAIN, including 16 health programs in collaboration with a national network of US health organizations.  

The new systems have the potential to transform healthcare, enabling better care outcomes, improving efficiency and productivity and reducing costs. From helping to track patients, to developing new treatments and drugs, to automating administrative tasks and improving public health, AI is creating new possibilities and opportunities for healthcare organizations and professionals.

As new uses of these technologies in healthcare continue to develop and grow, the need for rigorous development and evaluation standards becomes even more important to ensure effective and responsible applications of AI, TRAIN said.

👉 Through collaboration, TRAIN members can potentially help improve the quality and reliability of AI by sharing best practices related to its use in healthcare settings, enabling registration for clinical care or clinical operations through a secure online portal, providing tools to enable measurement of outcomes associated with AI implementation and facilitating the development of a federated national registry of AI outcomes for organizations to share with each other.  

When it comes to the tremendous capabilities of technology, there is no doubt that there is potential to transform healthcare, said Dr. David Rhew, global chief medical officer and vice president of healthcare at Microsoft.
