"One of the most important contributions will be expanding access to healthcare services, especially through strengthening primary healthcare systems. Using artificial intelligence as a family health guide can be helpful for monitoring an individual's health and providing lifestyle recommendations.
Artificial intelligence, big data, and digital solutions already play a key role in improving healthcare. The full integration of these technologies requires to incorporate AI into the legislative framework to ensure its responsible and ethical use.
However, as we integrate AI into healthcare, we must ensure the fair and impartial use of AI-based solutions through appropriate regulations and ethical standards. Future healthcare policies should prioritize information security, patient rights, and AI governance to prevent cyber threats and the misuse of confidential medical information," Musayev explained.
