Summary
During a panel discussion at Medicen Day on 6 October, Jacques Léglise, managing director of Hôpital Foch, and Céline Dujardin, president of Medtronic France, described the uses of AI in healthcare and the obstacles to it. The hospital is rolling out tools to write consultation reports and, with ten other hospitals, is testing LLMs that summarise patient records and medical literature. According to Medtronic, 80% of its medical devices incorporate AI, connected objects or remote monitoring, but data quality needs to improve. The speakers point to how quickly tools become obsolete, the weight of habit more than ethical concerns, and funding focused on individual devices rather than a global approach to value in healthcare, which hinders scaling up.
