Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Services – Regulation, Implementation and Future Challenges

Digitalization of healthcare services in European Union with implementation of artificial intelligence represents one of the modern forms of healthcare delivery defined in the European digital agenda in order to assure better quality in healthcare services delivery and improve quality of healthcare systems. Authors of the paper analyse the process of digitalization and implementation of artificial intelligence in healthcare service while opening some technical, ethical and legal questions, which need to be better defined. European union is still in process of developing the regulatory framework for implementation and harmonization of digital solutions in healthcare system and the authors give an overview of actual situation and give recommendations concerning the privacy and data protection, data quality and data management as well as harmonized rules on artificial intelligence which should stand as the pillars of the regulatory framework and be the main focus of the future regulation in order to protect the patients data and patients privacy in healthcare services.
