The potential of this game-changing technology in the healthcare sector will make a huge difference for both professionals and patients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are many ways in which AI applications can be applied to healthcare, providing benefit for all stakeholders involved: nurses, patients, and other healthcare professionals. However, they all need to take into account existing EU-wide regulatory frameworks and end-user practices and preferences. In the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, AI may be supportive in increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of our healthcare systems, while accelerating the digitalisation of healthcare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Globally, digital health is quickly developing, but there is a need among stakeholders of having reliable European and international standards that can build trust and promote transparency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">During the workshop, the EFN Secretary General intervened to remind the audience present (over 150 participants) of the importance of co-creation and co-design with the nursing workforce. As the nurses are the largest healthcare profession of all, their right involvement in new AI tools is essential for the latter to be fit-for-purpose and successfully deployed. Benchmarks in health apps are needed to ensure that end-users make informed decisions.
