This study presents an overview of the development, adoption and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and applications in the healthcare sector across all Member States. The main aim of this study was to support the European Commission in identifying and addressing any issues that might be hindering the wider adoption of AI technologies in the healthcare sector. The study will help the Commission to take action to achieve its long-term goal on the effective implementation of AI in the healthcare sector, based around common legislation and policy framework.

According to the study, while most EU Member States have developed AI strategies that identify healthcare as a priority sector, there are no policies within those strategies targeting healthcare in particular. However, EU Member States have made progress in proposing regulatory frameworks around the management of health data, which is a foundational element for the further development of AI technologies in the healthcare sector.

In terms of adoption, while healthcare organisations in the EU are open to adopting AI applications, adoption is still currently limited to specific departments, teams and application areas. The lack of trust in AI-driven decision support is hindering the wider adoption, while issues around the integration of new technologies into current practices are also among the main challenges identified by relevant stakeholders in EU Member States.
