AI4HF Featured at Roundtable on Trustworthy AI in Healthcare

On October 3, the AI4HF project was highlighted at the roundtable “Trustworthy AI – Ethics, Legal, and Regulatory Aspects in Practical Use Cases”, held during the EU Week for Sustainable and Inclusive Communities: “The Future is Shafe” in Brussels.

The session, moderated by Miriam Cabrita from SHINE 2Europe, brought together a multidisciplinary panel with expertise in computer science, human-computer interaction, technology ethics, and legal and regulatory frameworks.

In her introduction, Miriam presented AI4HF’s multi-stakeholder engagement approach as an example of how to elicit key requirements and collaboratively design pathways for the real-world implementation of AI in heart failure treatment.

The discussion focused on the challenges and opportunities of upscaling AI-driven solutions for healthcare at both local and national levels. Topics included whether local and regional governments should report on AI use and its societal impact, and how to design policy frameworks that ensure transparency without overburdening smaller administrations. These debates underscored the importance of balancing innovation with accountability, highlighting the role of projects like AI4HF in providing practical insights for shaping effective and inclusive policies.
