Learning about data and AI has never been this easy. From apps monitoring our blood sugar to clinical researchers asking us about our personal information, the world of data in healthcare can be scary. We are here to help.
Why we have built the website
- Education for everyone – Our content was created in collaboration with members of the public with the support of experts. If this is your first time learning about data or artificial intelligence, you are in the right place.
- Learn your way – The guide has been written for you to use in any way that suits you. You can read it online or print it and read it like a booklet. We have are podcasts, animated videos and illustrative examples throughout enhance your learning.
- Take your time - We know you are busy. Our content is designed to be absorbed in small chunks.
A brief message from us
Healthcare is changing, and information (data) is more important than ever. Artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to help organise and deliver healthcare. But what does this mean for us, and how do we make decisions when these changes affect us? How can we influence what happens?
We created this guide to help answer those questions. We hope it will help everyone understand more about data and AI. We want you to feel confident in making choices about your data and its use in healthcare. We want you to be able to feel confident talking about data and AI in with friends and family members. We hope you will feel able to bring your voice to projects that are trying to use and improve data and AI in healthcare.
Leading this project has been a privilege. We have had incredible support from our public contributors and experts. We have learned a lot from everyone and look forward to sharing that with you in this guide to data and artificial intelligence in healthcare.
