Saudi Arabia can link healthcare AI with safety and cost benefits

The study focused on the importance of linking Saudi Arabia's ambitions in utilizing AI in healthcare with clear and measurable guarantees to ensure patient safety, cost efficiency, and sustainable investment. It emphasized that the responsibilities of healthcare institutions do not end with purchasing AI systems; rather, they require testing their suitability, training staff to use them, monitoring their performance, and defining who intervenes if issues arise. The recommendations include the need to evaluate the systems in terms of improving clinical decision-making, operational and maintenance costs, and strengthening local verification processes to ensure the tools are appropriate for the Saudi environment before scaling up. The study also highlighted the importance of defining clear responsibilities for vendors, providing a contingency plan for service continuity in case of system failure, and investing in training national personnel. Additionally, it pointed out that the absence of national strategies poses a significant barrier to adopting such technology. Implementing guarantees within contracts can contribute to better-informed decision-making. The study also stresses the necessity of reviewing systems within 90 days to ensure proper implementation of guidelines and to guarantee therapeutic responsibility and safety.
