Preparing Healthcare for AI: Lessons for the ARMS4elderly project

Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing healthcare—from predictive algorithms to clinical decision support.

However, its potential is only fully realized when healthcare organizations have the right foundation: technological, clinical, educational, and ethical.

Key takeaways relevant for ARMS4elderly:

• Digital Infrastructure: Systems must be interoperable and standardized to integrate AI tools smoothly.
• Data Governance: Patient data must be secure, ethical, and compliant with regulations.
• Skilled Workforce: Healthcare professionals need training to use AI effectively and safely.
• Collaborative Partnerships: Combining expertise across disciplines ensures better AI adoption.
• Continuous Evaluation: Regular monitoring and adaptation keep AI systems safe and effective.

By applying these guidelines, ARMS4elderly aims to implement AI-driven solutions that genuinely enhance care for older adults, ensuring technology supports real patient benefits.
