AI-powered devices can automatically collect real-time data on heart rate, blood pressure, and glucose levels and make proactive healthcare interventions and the early detection of likely health issues before they spiral into life-threatening conditions; it not only adds to the efficiency of healthcare delivery but also greatly enhances patient safety and satisfaction. For instance, in December 2024, NHS Lothian in Scotland launched the UK's first AI-powered physiotherapy clinic, Flok Health, to tackle record-long waiting lists. Such innovations aim at the adoption of AI in telehealth platforms across healthcare facilities. AI-powered tools, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and diagnostic algorithms, enhance patient engagement and reduce the burden on healthcare providers. For example, K Health (US) offers an AI-powered chat system that manages over 3.1 million patient interactions across the US, providing symptom checking and personalized insight. It also recommends whether the patient needs a health checkup, which helps minimize clinic visits for patients suffering from a disease.
In healthcare, approximately one-third of data breaches result in medical identity theft mainly due to a lack of internal control over patient information, a lack of top management support, outdated policies and procedures or non-adherence to existing ones, and inadequate personnel training, all of which contribute to the rise in data breaches and medical identity theft cases in the industry; this makes patient confidentiality a significant challenge in the healthcare industry. Patient data includes individual, private, or confidential information, with a need for strong controls to prevent abuse. Increased usage of automated technology (such as EHRs and claims processing) and the new trend in health information exchange have transformed healthcare privacy and security dynamics. The electronic exchange of patient data offers greater reach and efficiency in healthcare delivery. Still, it involves greater data risk and liability due to broader access and can result in data breaches. In 2023, the healthcare sector witnessed 747 major security breaches, setting a new record as reported to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which surpassed the previous year's total of 720 breaches.
