Tuesday May 23, 2023 11:00 - 11:30 F1
AI, English, On site only, Presentation, Tools for implementation, Intermediate
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to support decision making in the mental health domain for both healthcare professionals and patients on different levels in the healthcare systems and self-care services. AI has been included in several health applications such as predicting mental health problems, diagnostics, treatment plans, workflows, and other duties that require decision support. Understanding the use of AI tools and how it is applied for support decision making in the mental health would contribute in improving the design, development and implementation in practice. Further knowledge will also help benefit shaping person-centered care approaches when using AI tools by understanding the dynamics used nowadays in support decision making and how to include patients in the development of future processes and tools,It is unclear what types of decisions that AI tools most commonly participate in supporting in mental health, how these tools are applied, and whether its implementation is engaging patients in the process of decision making or not, this uncertainty may contribute in shifting the decision- making process towards more technology polarization and far from patient centeredness. Therefore, a scoping review is conducted to map the characteristics of research done on AI tools for supporting decision making in the mental health field to contribute to the body of knowledge regarding how decisions are supported. In the proposed lecture we will present our findings regarding the use of AI in mental health and reflections on support decision making.

The momentum around openEHR is on the rise. And we will remember the year 2022 as the year when all the big players in the healthcare landscape have embraced openEHR as the standard for data persistence. Microsoft, Dedalus, EY, and many many more have joined the openEHR community and as EY stated in its latest document, openEHR is the only international open health data standard that can cater for the complexity of health semantics and is designed for persistence.
In the session, we will hear it from the co-chair of the openEHR International, an organisation that is actively promoting lifelong, patient‑centric shared health records, future‑proof data, and clinical process support. Tomaž Gornik is an openEHR visionary who has been promoting openEHR and other open standards for more than 20 years, and who has a proven track record of delivering innovative turn-key solutions, as well as state-of-the-art technology, architectures, and processes.
What are the benefits that the openEHR standard and a modular ecosystem based on open data bring? What can we learn from openEHR cases across Europe? How can we build on the momentum of this year and what will the future in digital healthcare bring? In his lecture, Gornik will answer all of these questions, present the concrete use-cases and lessons learned with real-world deployments, and try to explain how could openEHR benefit the healthcare system of Sweden.
